Grizzly Dad
by Joanna Harrison
"Dad woke up in a grrrizzly mood. All morning he groaned and grizzled and grumped. And then he went back to bed! But when I pulled back the covers to see how it wasn't Dad in bed at all...it was a great big grizzly bear!"
The simple text is enhanced by the delightful illustrations that shows what is going on--why Dad is in a grrizzly mood and why he goes back to bed. The young boy in the story wakes his Dad up again to find that his Dad has turned into a HUGE bear. A great big fun loving bear. A playful tale celebrating Dad's and how a bad mood can turn out for the best, and a child's imagination.
A wonderfully warm picture book that celebrates dads (especially the grumpy ones!). A great Father's Day choice.
