The illustrations are cute and show daddy and child doing various things together. Not a lot of substance but young kids should like it. 3.5⭐️

All the things Daddy and I do on any given day. I like the colors, very vibrant and simple cute illustrations. I'm reviewing as an advanced read copy so I cannot tell if this would be published as a board book but I think it would be great in that format for infant to early toddler. However, I did not enjoy the content of this book. I'm all about a good Dad book. My daughters favorite book is a Dad book and "Dada" were her first words. If you received this as a gift and someone gave you the Mommy and Me book companion, you'd be a little disappointed. Mom definitely gets more "chores" and Dad gets the fun activity. Spoiler, dads biggest task is changing his little one into PJs. Maybe its not any give day for this book and this is a take on Daddy and Me on the weekend? There is nothing wrong with the fun stuff but my husband does homework, cleaning and bath time. Let's encourage that in our child's literature.

A simple and easy to follow picture book about daddies. Different types of animals are illustrated spending time with their fathers. The perfect book for little ones and Father's Day.

I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own - and well - my four year old daughters.

I am an avid reader of Christian fiction, and while browsing for appropriate books on NetGalley, I came across some appealing children's books. I immediately thought that this would be an interesting and innovative way to read to my four-year-old daughter. A couple of books available for request was by Liesbet Slegers.

My Daddy and Me is a fun, colourful book that is easy to follow. My daughter enjoyed looking at all the pictures and seeing what each different animal child enjoys most about their fathers and what they enjoy doing together.

Thank you Liesbet Slegers.

I love My Mommy and Me and this is a wonderful book as well. I like the story and the colorful illustrations. Very cute!

Lions, dogs, bunnies, alligators, and bears make up the “Daddy and Me” pairs in this sweet picture book for toddlers. Daddy pushing a scooter or a swing, riding a bicycle, splashing in the pool, puddle-jumping, eating breakfast and other activities are the fun ways father and chid connect. Another colorfully-illustration title, destined to become a “read-it-again” favorite.

This is a sweet little book, and the perfect companion to My Mommy and Me. My 3 yr old and I both enjoyed this story about all the different things Daddies and their kids do together. The illustrations were cute, and perfect for this age range. I noticed the description said it will be a flap book, which my kids absolutely love. This would make an excellent gift!

This is a cute little book with emphasis on the relationship with a father and child and the various things they do together. It’s a little hard to review without the benefit of colour and which parts the flaps reveal as described at the end of the book.
I love the cute illustrations on every page. It is a simple book, meant for babies/toddlers and will be easy for them to understand. It’s just the right length, not too long, and giving various activities done with daddy. I think it would be a really good bedtime story as it ends with putting pyjamas on and going to bed. I would definitely buy this one for kids.

This book would be such a great gift to give a new parent or for a dad on fathers day to read to their little one. The illustrations were colorful and well done.

My Daddy and Me is an appealing book for toddlers. The use of animals and colorful illustrations make the book perfect for little ones. My Daddy and Me would go perfectly hand in hand with My Mommy and Me. The different activities that the animal daddys do with the animal children opens up for questions like "what do you like to do with daddy?" or "do you also like jumping in puddles with daddy?" This is a fun book that is sure to make your little ones happy!

The book, My Daddy and Me, follows a youngster doing a number of different activities with his father. The compare how much they both love doing the different things (building a tower with blocks, jumping in puddles, going in the pool).
This would be very cute to read with a little one and talk about doing those different things and ask if they like to do them. It's not too gendered (these aren't necessarily male-dominated tasks).
I'd recommend this book to parents or care-givers of little ones aged 12-24 months.

This is a great companion to My Mommy and Me. Both books convey the feeling of happiness and security any child should have in their life. Everybody is smiling in this book. The illustrations are age appropriate, with cute little details and extremely vibrant colours. What I love about this book is the way it shows that modern Dads are involved in all sorts of activities in their child's life.

Thank you to NetGalley and Clavis Publishing for the ARC provided in exchange for an honest opinion.
