One, Two, Daddy Loves You

A joyful ode to the special bond between fathers and their daughters from acclaimed creators Shelly Becker and Dan Yaccarino
One, two, Daddy loves you.
Three, four, throat feels sore.
Five, six, soothing sips.
Seven, eight, best play mate.
A young girl and her artist father make the best of a sick day (with an impromptu puppet show, a cupcake-making session, and lots of art supplies) in this heartfelt, rhyming picture book from acclaimed creators Shelly Becker and Dan Yaccarino.
