A Father Like That Zolotow, Charlotte/ Scribner, Joanne (ILT)

A boy knows all about fathers. He knows there are little things a father understands, like how to play checkers and when to bend the rules at bedtime. And he knows there are big things a father does, like banishing nightmares and spending special time with his son. Even if he doesn't have a father, a boy can imagine one just like that.

LeUyen Pham's tender drawings illustrate Charlotte Zolotow's timeless and timely appreciation of the special bond between fathers and sons.

From the Publisher:
A small boy, who has never known his father, tells his mother what he would like a father to be, in a classic story reissued for a new generation of readers.
