Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-In this sequel to When I Grow Up- (North-South, 1999), Sebastian asks what fathers do besides protect their families. The senior turtle answers by describing what different meadowland dads do for their children and asking which animal he is talking about. "Well, a father encourages his children. He chirps to them when they try to fly for the first time. Can you guess which father that is?" Of course, at the end, the little turtle decides that his dad is the best of all, as the two burrow in a pile of autumn leaves to keep warm during the coming winter. Kadmon's illustrations for this gentle story fill the oversized pages with soft, glowing greens, blues, and oranges, and beautifully depict various creatures and their young. This lovely book is perfect for sharing one-on-one and for storytime, where it has good potential as a participatory tale.

Product Description
"I feel so safe when I'm with you," Sebastian the little turtle tells his father. "Yes," said his father. "That's what a father does—he keeps you safe." Father relates some of the many things different fathers do for their children—chirping encouragement as they learn to fly, setting up croaking concerts to showcase their talents—and lets Sebastian guess just what animal father is being described. In the end, Sebastian, like children everywhere, decided his own loving father is the very best father of all! This sequel to When I Grow Up…, which Booklist described as "a story…that celebrates the special bond between father and son," reaffirms that loving bond in a sweet and entertaining way.
