A warm, hilarious, witty and very personal tribute to Dad (and to dads everywhere) by the ever-brilliant and inventive Anthony Browne.
‘He’s all right, my dad. He’s as strong as a gorilla and happy as a hippopotamus. He’s a great dancer, a brilliant singer, he’s fantastic at football and he makes me laugh. A lot. But that’s not all that’s great about my dad.’

Review:
According to one little boy, his dad is just about the coolest thing since sliced bread. Equally at ease jumping over the moon and banishing the Big Bad Wolf, this fearless father, in his hideous brown plaid bathrobe and blue-striped pajamas, seems capable of anything. The awe and admiration in his son's tone are gratifying; his hyperboles are droll. "He's as strong as a gorilla, and as happy as a hippopotamus. He's all right, my dad." Dad appears (always in a robe and PJs) as a weightlifting, goofy gorilla and a frolicking hippo. At other times he's a brown plaid fish ("He can swim like a fish"), a placid-faced wrestler ("He can wrestle with giants"), and a tightrope walker (the tightrope looks remarkably like a clothesline, with Dad circumnavigating rainbow-colored socks).
From the Inside Flap:
Anthony Browne, award-winning author and illustrator of Willy's Pictures and many other witty picture books, pays bright and loving homage to that most remarkable of beings, the dad. Every illustration depicts the world as seen from the low height of the little boy narrator and through his starry-eyed gaze, as well. Sure, we might look at this man and see a slightly overweight fellow with five o'clock shadow and poor taste in nightwear, but to his son, this is Man. He is everything. And until that fateful day when the boy begins to roll his eyes at his dad's hopelessly embarrassing ways, Dad should just revel in the divine, unadulterated love of his child. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
A warm and witty tribute to dads everywhere -- by a brilliantly inventive author and illustrator.
He?s all right, my dad.
He?s as strong as a gorilla
and as happy as a hippopotamus.
He?s a great dancer,
a brilliant singer,
he?s fantstic at football
and he makes me laugh. A lot.
But that?s not all that?s great about my dad . . .
He?s all right, my dad.
He?s as strong as a gorilla

and he makes me laugh. A lot.
But that?s not all that?s great about my dad . . .
