I bought this book for my husband to enjoy with our toddler daughter. What a mistake!! The book references fat, and big- legged little girl. I had to permanent marker out the words for the book to stay in my house. I learned a lesson about THOROUGHLY reading any children's book before purchasing. Amazing this was a NY Times Best Seller. Are you joking????

I was disgusted at the very first page with the allusion of ownership of a little girl and the description of diaper changing. Felt like a voyeur in a totally inappropriate and uncomfortable scenarion being set up for a pedophile. Then it cleans up a awhile before going back into references of beauty shows, fat legged women. I will be burning the book and somehow feel dirty that it even entered my house

I bought this book for my husband to share with our 1 year old-I was appalled when I read it and so thankful I read ALL books myself before reading them to my daughter! Reading this book made me feel uncomfortable, like I was reading a naughty story about pedophilia! I left the book out for my husband to read and make sure I was not over reacting and he felt the same. The book references diaper changing as if it's a moment to bond between daddy and daughter and calls the baby "fat". The only half decent part are the illustrations and even those are minimally good at best.I will throw this book out as I would feel horrible donating it to some unsuspecting person-YUK!

I purchased this book for my husband from our daughter. Although she is older than the little girl in the book, she and my husband related to what the two shared in the book. I was a way to bring back the memories of there early years of just the two of them spending time doing special things together.

I got this for my husband and my daughter when she was about 18 months. She's almost 2 now and still loves it! She'll 'read' it herself and say 'Daddy Daddy Please say Yes' - cracks us up. It was a little long for her to sit through when I first got it, but she loves it now, and has us read through 2 or 3 of the stories.

Although I haven't a daughter, I read this book and my relationship with my son has gone from great to greater. Many things in this book don't only apply to daddies and their daughters, but also to mommies and their sons, daddies and their sons and mommies and daddies and their kids.

I bought this book for my husband from my daughter. I don't find the book at all inapproriate, and think some reviews are overly sensitive. There's nothing wrong with the parts about diaper changes or big legs. Let's not act like people don't have big legs or that it's a bad thing especially when most babies have cute fat thighs. My husband enjoys reading this book to our daughter, especially the part about b-a-n-a-n-a-s and my daughter often selects this as her nighttime book. Like other readers I preread everybook and I thought this was a cute book, it is a little on the long side.

I got this for my husband to read at night to our daughter Sophie, because he's a longtime Keillor fan. This book surprised me in that it has the Keillor warmth and tenderness, but there's also a sophistication to it that makes it exceptional. The CD of Keillor singing the songs is toe tapping! Great package.
