My Dad

From the 2000 Hans Christian Andersen Medalist In an endearing homage to dads everywhere, a boy describes – and exaggerates – the many accomplishments and feats of his father. Among the traits praised are his enormous talent for singing, his near-professional wrestling skills, his extreme bravery in the face of danger (he’s not even afraid of the Big Bad Wolf!), and his ability to – quite literally, in Anthony Browne’s world – eat like a horse. All of the pictures feature the lovable pater in his signature plaid bathrobe, adding a further comfy layer to a book whose ultimate message is I love my dad. And you know what? HE LOVES ME! (And he always will.).
