Dad

"Like this child, readers will want to be like this dad: able to dream big and accomplish anything."—Kirkus Reviews

“This creative romp by Lowe follows a father with an apparently boundless capacity for fun, his more levelheaded wife, and their two children….A rollicking celebration of one father’s imagination.”—Publishers Weekly

He's the most interesting man in the world. He changes diapers just because he likes it. He's counted to infinity—twice! He's stonger 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.
