This is a giggle-worthy picture book about a family trick or treating together. The dad cannot stop making jokes, and they are all silly dad jokes, which are cute but also funny. This is a great book to read with a family.

Thank you to Netgalley, as well as the publisher and the author for an advanced reader copy of the children's book "my dad thinks he's a scream".

Listen, kid, I think your dad IS a scream.
This funny, whimsical Halloween story is full of puns and dad jokes. It's cleverly told and beautifully illustrated. Even the font used was perfect for the whimsy that the book held. The book is release August 5th, 2025 and just in time for spooky season!

I will certainly be purchasing this for my little one when it comes out!

Fun book sure to make my younger elementary school students howl!
Puns are universally appreciated and universally looked down upon by everyone who didn't initiate the pun. I found the story sweet, humorous and so amusing. Halloween is such an enjoyable holiday, and this book will definitely be a hit. I have a feeling all those dads, of dad joke distinction, will also appreciate it. This will be a nice addition to my Halloween collection.
