In a text that's both playful and loving, a father expresses his hopes and dreams for a one-of-a-kind relationship with his child. Whimsical monster characters bring the silly and sweet scenes to life and keep the book universal. The book's ending, a moving tribute to the author's father, guarantees inter-generational appeal. Because I'm your dad, I will do all of these things for you and more . . . because that's what my dad did for me.
