Dad: The Man, The Myth, The Legend is an epic - and totally unexaggerated - tale for dads everywhere!
Age range 6+
He's the most interesting man in the world. He changes nappies just because he likes it. He's counted to infinity—twice! He's stronger than Sasquatch, smarter than Einstein, and he cooks a mean spaghetti with M&Ms for all your bad days.
He's a myth. He's a legend. He's...my dad!
Dad: The Man, the Myth, the Legend is an epic—and totally unexaggerated—tale for dads everywhere! Heroic, hilarious, and heartwarming, it's the sweet saga of Dad: protector, provider, and child's best friend.
And it's all true. Right, Dad?
The end includes a page for children to write what makes their own dad a legend.
'This creative romp by Lowe follows a father with an apparently boundless capacity for fun, his more level-headed wife, and their two children, the older of whom can't stop singing their father's praises...Torrent illustrates in a sketch-like style, richly coloured and replete with dynamic illustrations of the white family. A rollicking celebration of one father's imagination.' - Publishers Weekly
'Like this child, readers will want to be like this dad: able to dream big and accomplish anything.' - Kirkus Reviews
