I love each page and all the incredible detail that went to everything. Championing all that fathers do in fun ways was a delight to read.This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I really liked the how the pictures were created for this book. Great Job, Dad! Was a fun book to read to my preschool classroom. They really enjoyed it.This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. My granddaughter (5 yrs old) and I enjoyed this book very much. While the storyline is the familiar “what dad and/or mom do for you every day”, it is illustrated by photographs of hand made figurines and miniature furniture, providing more depth and interest than drawings often do. The second half of the book was our favorite, in it the author tells and shows how he made the figurines and dioramas, and some photo techniques to make them look realistic. This inspired us to get out some action figures and doll house furniture and photograph some scenes of our own, a fun and rewarding project. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I received this children’s picture book in exchange for an honest review. The photographs of the miniature figurines that Holman Wang creates are very interesting, and are sure to capture the attention of young children. Each scene captures a moment in time between a father and his children. Most kids will be able to relate to these scenes. I highly recommend this book to new fathers, and their children. It would be perfect for Father’s Day! As a teacher, I can tell you that this book would be a great addition to any preschool or primary-grade classroom. You could have the young students take pictures of their own creations, to tell a story of what they do with their fathers! My only criticism is that the book would have been more inclusive of all fathers if the author did not specify the “manager” job at the beginning of the story. It would have been better to leave it at “my father works”. Not all fathers work as managers. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. How many jobs does your dad have? Holman Wang shows us that fathers aren’t limited to one 9-5 job. Many hold a lot more than one or two. He gives job descriptions for a lot of the tasks that fathers perform daily. The name of the jobs are actual jobs! The simple pictures appeal to young children and they can identify with the jobs. Happy Father’s Day, daddy! no reviews | add a review
"Being a dad is eleven jobs in one! This unique picture book for very young readers celebrates the many jobs being a parent encompasses: A receptionist scheduling important meetings (for playdates), an architect designing buildings (or pillow forts), an inspector (of diapers!).... When Dad gets home from his day job at the office, he never knows which job will be waiting for him, but he knows it'll be fun! Each rhyming spread features intimate, familiar, comforting and humorous depictions of family life through a wholly original -- and amazing! -- needle-felted lens"--Provided by publisher.
