Review:

"Andreae does break daddy stereotypes, and the singsong rhythm and bold, colorful, expressive illustrations will have kid appeal. At the same time, the vocabulary and positive attributes (kind, clever, polite) will have adult appeal."―Booklist

"Whether out on the town or cuddling on the couch, Dad, Daughter, and an ever-present stuffed rabbit radiate a comfortable warmth that will resonate with young listeners."―School Library Journal
