From the Publisher

2018-05-14
Extol the virtues of parents in this and its companion volume, My Mom is Magical.Each of these winning board books is dedicated to the respective, titular parent of the author-and-illustrator team, sisters Sabrina and Eunice Moyle, who together are the design studio Hello!Lucky. The over-the-top enthusiasm of these volumes may, therefore, be reasonably excused, as the creative team's love for their subjects seems as sincere as it is hyperbolic. A series of wild metaphors and analogies celebrate Dad or Mom; the near-blinding bright colors and kinetic, even chaotic illustrations perfectly complement the exuberant text. "My Dad is cooler than a million Popsicles!" "My Mom is cuddlier than a mountain yak!" A friendly, hipsterized yeti that looks like an extra from Where the Wild Things Are plays Dad, while Mom is rendered as a sparkly unicorn with rainbow mane and tail—who strikes heroic poses. Descriptive phrasing ranges from sweet to laugh-out-loud silly: Dad, for example, is "funnier than a bunch of underpants!" Funny indeed! Each volume ends by switching voices to break the fourth wall: "Kid, you're amazing" (or "magical") "too!" Both books are visual treats, sure to engage with their brilliant hues and inventive (if occasionally stereotypical) images. Dad is imagined at one point as a masked, lucha libre wrestler, for example, and Mom teaches a classroom of owlets mathematical formulae in glasses and an "I [heart] Math" T-shirt. Families may want both books, or either, as applicable.Superlative silliness. (Board book. 1-3)
