Published by Scholastic Inc.
The New York Times bestseller. “There’s an old-fashioned, hard-hat appeal to Mighty Dads, a book made for dramatic read-alouds with sound effects.” —USA Today
Mighty dads, strong and tall, help their children, young and small. They keep them safe and bolted tight and show them how to build things right.
Inventively told through James Dean’s colorful construction vehicle characters, Mighty Dads is an adoring dedication to hardworking fathers and the subtle ways they teach their boys and girls to follow in their tracks. The Dump Trucks learn to get dirty. Crane keeps his little one safe from harm. The busy Cement Mixer gives his daughter a hug. The Forklift cheers his son on.
A surprising and touching view of a father’s love for his children, Mighty Dads is the perfect way to say: I’m proud of you!
“Like the best 21st-century human dads, the vehicles don’t just show their kids the ropes—they also offer plenty of TLC . . . A book worthy of any young armchair foreman.” —Publishers Weekly
“Just the ticket for vehicle-obsessed youngsters who can’t get enough of construction play.” —School Library Journal
“This makes for a perfect choice for story hours—the vivid verbs demand to be chanted and dramatized.” —Booklist
