Description

A gentle family story perfect for the youngest Spot fans.

Spot story books have been delighting children and parents for years with their gentle storylines and bright, colourful scenes. Spot is always the star of these books, and his experiences with his family, friends, and the wider world are those experienced by very young children.

In this addition to the Spot Loves titles, Spot is spending time with his Dad. They do lots of fun things together — from playing football to flying a kite to feeding ducks. Spot loves Dad, and Dad loves Spot.

This book is delightful for father and son to share together and will make an especially lovely gift — for Father's Day, a birthday — or any other celebration day!

About the Author

Eric Hill (Author, Illustrator) Eric Hill (1927-2014) started his artistic career as an art studio messenger and from there went on to become a cartoonist and eventually an art director at a leading advertising agency. In 1978 Eric made up a story about a small puppy to read to his son at bedtime and Spot was born. The success of his first bestselling lift-the-flap classic Where's Spot? in 1980 convinced him to become a full-time author, and his Spot books have been enjoyed by children around the world ever since. In 2008 he was awarded an OBE for services to children's literacy.
