This review is from: Daddy, You're My Hero! (paperback OOP- see boardbook) (Paperback)

It is a very short book. Being a board book, we expected that. But for the price we paid, we were hoping for a little more inside. Overall, it was average compared to the other military deployment books for kids. I wish they had more that werent so specific on army personnel though.

This review is from: Daddy, You're My Hero! (Books for Brats, 1) (Board book)

My daughter and I loved this book! Her daddy is in Iraq, and books like this really help reinforce to her that daddy will be coming home, how important daddy's mission is, and why he has to be away from us. It helped let her know she is not the only one going through this. This one is excellent!

1.0 out of 5 stars rhyming needs a bit of work, March 28, 2005

This review is from: Daddy, You're My Hero! (Books for Brats, 1) (Board book)

The author hit the highlights of what a deployment/TDY will be like. Unfortunately the rhyming (or lack thereof) was a bit "off" and it is actually painful to read. The illustrations aren't very appealing, either, and my 2 yr old rarely picks this book at storytime.
