The illustrations are cute and fun, the story is just a story. The child tries to help Dad do all kinds of traditional "Dad" things - washing the car, going to the game, be nice to him when he gets home from work, etc. There's no mention of a mom anywhere in the story. I just finished reading <i>How to Get a Mommy to Sleep</i> by the same author and I was a little put off, honestly, at the stereotypical gender roles in both these books. It's 2020, can't Dad go grocery shopping or Mom watch the game? Anyway, there's really nothing ground-breaking or memorable or unique about this story, it's a typical "be nice to Dad" book. It's not bad, it just doesn't stand out in any way from the other hundreds of "be nice to Dad" books already published.
As a children's librarian in public library, I also need to point out, just for your information, that this book is overtly religious. From the first page, there are references to God and how special Dad is because God made Dad just for you. So, ymmv.
