Join the jubilant journey of fatherhood with a crew of animal dads--and their kids!--engaging in everyday activities which mirror readers' interactions with their father figures. Emily Snape reminds us that Dads come in every shape and size and they may seem as different as can be, but there are two truths for all dads that hold true: you love your dad and your dad loves you.

Dads celebrates the vast spectrum of fatherhood with illustrations of animal paternal figures and their families. There are loud and quiet dads, careful and courageous dads, sporty and trendy dads... depicted as gorilla dads, rhino dads, lion dads, dog dads, squirrel dads, octopus dads, even shark dads--to name a few! Each page expresses the joys, trials, humor, concerns, and hope of parenthood. The compare-contrast format sets a rhythm that builds to a meaningful, uplifting conclusion: that love is what each of these dads have in common.
