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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book, July 9, 2004

By	L Wulf (USA) - See all my reviews

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

When my husband activated as a National Guard member for a long term deployment overseas, it was harder to explain to my 2 and 4 yr old. Since we live no where near a military base, the deployment and military life was an unknown concept to them, past the fact that it is hard to explain to young children. I purchased the book before he left, and he read it to them. Afterward he had go it was something that they could relate to for this time of our life, with even my older two children getting reassurance as they read and reread it to my younger two. After he returns, I plan to put it in their memory box as something that really helped them to identify with this event in our life.

Wonderful book for preschool age children.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short and sweet, April 10, 2007

By	Military wife "military wife" (texas base) - See all my reviews

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.
