Me and My Dad

Robin Shaw

From the award-winning animator of The Snowman and the Snowdog, Ethel & Ernest and We're Going on a Bear Hunt, this imaginative adventure is a visual feast and the perfect gift for Father's Day.

There is nothing more exciting that a trip down the road with Dad. There are snapping crocodiles, stomping dinosaurs, sleeping princesses and golden treasure - but that's not even the best bit. The best bit's at the end...

'A beautifully simple story that keeps you guessing until the very end.' Helen Oxenbury

'An absolute delight. Destined to become one of my all-time favourite picture books.' Kristina Stephenson

'A nourishing treasure trove of a book.' Steven Lenton

'Every detail draws you into a beautiful story created by a master of the coloured pencil.' Fiona Woodcock

'Warmly observed scenes drawn with charm and sprinkled with extraordinary detail. This is hot chocolate with marshmallows disguised as a book.' Benji Davies

This is Robin Shaw's first book for children.
