In celebration of Father’s Day on Sunday 17 June, we’ve searched the Farshore bookshelves for some of our favourite books about dads.
Mr. Grumpy Nails Fatherhood
Mr Grumpy has always been grumpy despite how much he protests otherwise.
To top it all, now he has to cope with the wonderful challenges of modern fatherhood. Does he manage to nail everything that his family expect of him?
From the Mr. Men for Grown-Ups series, Mr. Grumpy Nails Fatherhood is the perfect gift for anyone who has ever tried to retain a bit of themselves amongst all that parenting throws at them.
Mr Men: My Daddy
From terrific tickles and funny faces to strong arms when you’re feeling tired, daddies are funny, silly, strong and cool – lots of the Mr. Men rolled into one!
My Daddy is the perfect gift for Father’s Day and for any time you want to say I love you, too.
Children can also add their own words to make this an extra special gift.
