A heartfelt and playful ode to the father-child relationship, by
two-time Caldecott-medal-winning author Chris Raschka
King and Jester, Boat and Captain, Mountain and Climber... fathers and
children are all of these things and more in Chris Raschka's tribute to
this familial pair. Each stanza presents three scenarios in which the
father and child's roles are subtly balanced. The pairs vary between
stanzas, coming together in a visit to an ice-cream truck. With minimal
text and maximum emotion, the book encapsulates Raschka's own passion
and nostalgia for being a father to his [now-grown] son.
Ages 3-5
