"Munsch has another winner in this appealing story." - Canadian Materials "The pace is quick, the events bizarre, the appeal guaranteed." - Calgary Herald "David's Father touches on a fantasy children (and some adults) have: to find someone big, powerful and kind to protect them from a harsch world. And it does it with great humour and charm. Michael Martchenko's drawings, as wonderfully exaggerated as the plot, perfectly complement the text." - Quill & Quire Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Lively and tall tale!With Robert Munsch as a storyteller and Michael Martchenko as an illustrator you are guaranteed a delightful read with lively pictures to entertain the kids. My kids (5&2) love this book as they live with giants too, ever seen your kid in your tshirt and shoes? It was good to see the simple way of showing that differences are just something that makes us interesting, not someone to fear.

Rating: - Looking on the Bright Side of DifferencesChildren are often afraid of people who are different when they first meet. You can use this book to help your child understand that we are all unique, and that there are benefits to be found in our differences. Julie is freaked out on her way home from school to see movers taking a spoon as big as a shovel, a fork as large as a pitchfork, and a knife as long as a flagpole into a neighboring house. "'Yikes,' said Julie, 'I don't want to get to know those people at all.'" The next day, ...

They love to hear how silly his books are! Rating:  - sends a questionable messageI bought this book based on its description, thinking it would be a great little story about accepting people's differences. However, after a couple of times through, I gave up trying to put a favorable spin on it for my little girl. While it is a fairly entertaining little story, it is marred for us by the message that David's father is acceptable because he is so big and frightening that he scares people into giving the children what they want. David's father is cool because he's a bully? It seems ... Read More
