My Dad Is A Grizzly Bear

Swapna Haddow and Dapo Adeola’s My Dad Is a Grizzly Bear (Macmillan) is a feast of sly visual jokes and loving fun poked at a hulking, hairy, silhouetted father, with bouncy interwoven repetition that makes it huge fun to read aloud.Imogen Russell-Williams, Guardian

The book to rush out and buy for Father’s Day: about all the bearish things a dad does, the best of which is give bear hugs. Cartoony pictures are busy with comical details, and the text is lively, observant and relatable.The Times

With some lovely words and beautiful illustrations, the book carries the reader away on adventures, camping under the stars and looking for bears in the forest. Meanwhile, dads everywhere will sympathise with the father and his scratchy beard.Roddy Brooks, Independent

My top pick for Father's Day is this big-hearted look at family life, seen through the eyes of a little boy with a big imagination, replete with humour and warmth, and playful, energetic art from rising star Adeola.Bookseller, editor's choice
