Made for Me

My wife gifted this for Father’s Day. I couldn’t have received a better gift!Its an awesome book.

My 3 year old daughter loved it...the illustrations are beautiful so even though she can’t read she was spellbound

This was such an adorable book.I read it and then I asked my husband to read it with our daughter. They both looked so adorable reading together especially a dad daughter book.Mostly it is I who read books with her and she enjoys it. My husband doesn't get much time so he mostly plays with her. This was one of the rare moments when they both sat together and read the book. I felt so emotional.So here I'm writing this review, all teary eyed and emotional wreck thanks to Netgalley and familius and Zack Bush. Thank you very much for the precious moment with all my heart.Book rating : ♾️♾️♾️

This bedtime story is written from a dad’s perspective, addressing his little child as they prepare for bedtime. As there’s no mom in the story or illustrations, the dad is a hand-on father, doing everything for his child without hesitation.Each page contains only a two-line verse, so the look is quite clutter-free. The couplets are written in simple rhythmic prose. Most of the rhymes are well done, with only a couple of them feeling forced. However, the tenses are all over the place, with the text juggling across past, present and future randomly. There are also a couple of redundancies, such as ‘small tiny hands”. The issues I mentioned are mostly ones that only adults with notice so kiddos shouldn’t have a problem with this sweet book.I love the affirmation that is repeated once every few pages: “Of all the children that could ever be, You are the one made just for me”. What a lovely thought for kids to know!The illustrations are cute, with the soft colours working perfect for the mood. The gigantic father represents how he sees his child literally as being his little one. I also love how the child’s gender is kept neutral in the story, both in the text and in the illustrations. The book can thus be used for a child of any gender in real life.All in all, a good bedtime story for the littlest of littlies. This will work well as a bedtime read for ages 0-5.3.75 stars.Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book at my request and these are my honest thoughts about it, written voluntarily.
