| | | NEW & USED GENERAL BOOKS OF INTEREST | Home » » Say Daddy! (Picture Books) | | | | | | | Description: | | PreS—This story is narrated from the perspective of a newborn: "On the day I was born Mother welcomed me into the world with tears of joy and read me my first book." Daddy reads to his baby bear as soon as they come home from the hospital. One after another and over time, various family members share books with the baby, pointing out what wonderful adventures can be found within the pages. The stories convey important messages about kindness and caring, dreaming and making wishes come true, friendship, the value of laughter, and more. After reading aloud, each relative urges the child to say his or her name, but it's no surprise that the child's first word is "book" (though the father still hopes that the second one will be "Daddy"). Pastel watercolor illustrations heighten the dreamy, sweet, and cheerful atmosphere of this heavily messaged tale. Parents and caregivers make the best audience for this story, which would be useful in literacy and wellness programs for young families and will find a place in parenting collections along with Rosemary Wells's Read to Your Bunny (Scholastic, 1998).—Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OH

Say DaddyAug 23, 2008
Bought this book for our first grandchild who is going to be a boy
It will be read to him by our younger son who is his father.
Excellent story that can grow with little Will and be read over and over again I'm sure.

Shoulders rocks!!! He can rap too! lolJun 29, 2008
I also had the opportunity to meet Michael Shoulders at a Literacy Compass Conference in Tampa, FL. I was highly amused by him. He's a wonderful speaker, author, and DANCER! Yes,,, he rapped one of his "songs" to us... "I say Tenne, you say C...Tennesse, I say Flora...you say DA... Florida." He's hysterical! He's from Clarksville, he shows you that on the map. His son was on Survivor, his wife writes a weekly column in the Clarksville newspaper on Literacy....He read to us Say Daddy! and it had a beautiful message attached. He said this actually happened to a family and thought it would be a great story to write. He comes highly recommended!!!!

Cute! Cute! Cute!Jun 17, 2008
As an educator in Clarksville I have had the pleasure in meeting Mr. Shoulders several times. I am very excited about this one and am already awaiting any new creations to come. This is such a wonderfully written book that can be shared with the whole family. With the beautiful pictures and surprise ending it will melt your heart!

Say Outstanding!Apr 09, 2008
Michael Shoulder's has once again written a book that is a hit with parents and children alike. I was extremely fortunate to have him visit our school, and talk to our children. He is one of the most gifted speakers. Our children hung on his every word. When I told them he had this new book out they couldn't wait for me to get it. Reading is truly magic to Michael Shoulders and this book just enforces this. If Michael Shoulder's has written it - you can just count on it being worth buying AND reading. Once again he has come through with a book that encourages reading and a story that young and old can enjoy. (This is a perfect gift to give for new parents or grandparents!)
