From the publisher

A child relates the things he likes best about his father–and the best thing of all? It’s that “my dad is extra special, just because he’s mine!” A perfect book for Father’s Day! There are lots of wonderful things about Dad, as told by a young narrator in this rhyming 8 x 8 paperback. The father plays games, gives hugs, teaches right from wrong, cheers on his child, goes for rides in the car, reads bedtime stories over and over, scares monsters away, listens to problems, and tells jokes. But here’s what is the best of all, even better than the other nine.My dad is extra special–just because he’s mine!
