This was so cute! Such a lovely kids book and the perfect bedtime story.

When I was a preteen, I learned that my mom has no sense of pitch or tune or key. But still, I remember her singing my bedtime songs as being the most amazing concert. This book encapsulated that and was so sweet.

This book is perfect for ages 2-4 years old! The illustrations are fun and vibrant. The book glows nicely and has a rhyming scheme. My 2.5yo loved it and proceeded to have us sing the songs as well after they were mentioned in the book. It was super fun and I loved how into it she was. This book would make a great baby shower or Father’s Day gift.

A cute bedtime book featuring Daddy. If you have ever sung to a child at bedtime, or been sung to as a child this will bring back some pleasant memories. If you haven't, this book may just inspire you to sing at bedtime. Lovely, bright illustrations!

Children's Illustrated, Parenting & Families

A silly, engaging children’s story of a goofy dad putting on a “live concert” before bedtime for his child. This was a great display of “make believe” while also making the child feel special and loved. A strong family bond is obvious with dad involving his child with the entire charade, and mom and baby not being left out either. What a well-done example of the importance of being together and creating these meaningful bonds and memories. The illustrations are detailed and bright, and so fun!

This will make a great book to add to storytime during the bedtime routine, especially for those who love or play music. It will also be a great gift for Father’s Day!

Many thanks to Familius for providing me this advanced reader copy of the book for review consideration via NetGalley! All opinions are my own.

Spectacular Performance by Dad

This book was such a display of a Dad being goofy to entertain his family making core memories.

The illustrations were of a realistic family home and prepping for a night of at home entertainment. They were fun and animated.

This would be a great book to give to a a child for their nighttime routine. Especially one that is a music fan.

I received a copy of this book from Tyler Hilton. I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

A beautiful story where Tyler Hilton's rhyming text is engaging and fun! Eugenia Nobati's detailed and gorgeous illustrations bring out the best of this story! The love between the daughter and her father pours through every page of this book. I loved this picture book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great book for younger music classrooms or other early readers. It has a cute rhyming structure and could lead to fun discussions and sing-a-longs of familiar children's songs. This book could also serve as a great teaching tool for parents and teachers to share appropriate theater or concert etiquette, as well as for providing ideas for imaginative play and family bonding. There were some broad and subtle visual gags seen through the illustrations that kids and adults may enjoy discovering.

Could you possibly love Tyler Hilton more? Thank you Familius & NetGalley for the advanced copy of Daddy: Live in Concert!

Daddy: Live in Concert is the sweetest bedtime story to share - especially with those who have a music artist in the family. The artwork is engaging and accompanies the sweet storyline perfectly, allowing you to point out so many cute details to your little ones while reading. My favorite secondary characters would be the black cat, stuffed frog prince, and bunny slippers! I can't wait to purchase copies for all the little ones in my life.

My son really enjoyed this book. It helped having Wheels on the Bus as the main song. As a parent, I love books that celebrate dad’s. Our son is a mummy’s boy so it’s nice to have stories that help dad feel special too. This book brings to life a memory that (hopefully) most kids will have with their dads in a lovely way. The words and sentences flowed well and it was easy to read out loud in a way that felt natural. The art work and colour palette are lovely.

Cute story about daddy putting on a concert for his child. I could see my kids reading this and asking their dad to put on a show for them. Wouldn’t be one I’d adopt for a classroom read aloud, as family dynamics vary so much from student to student, but it’s a cute, cozy bedtime story for preschool-early elementary kiddos!

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC!

This book was so cute!! The artwork was adorable, I can't put my finger on it but it reminded me quite a bit of a book I loved as a child. It felt so very nostalgic. The rhyming prose of the book was so enjoyable and felt so good spoken aloud when reading. Overall, an adorable tale of a daddy who loves to sing for his girls! <3

What a sweet story about the parent-child bond. This one will be fun for kids and will encourage parents to create magic for their children by simply “elevating” favorite activities (in this case, reframing the singing of lullabies as a concert). It’s a great reminder of how our kids view us and the ways that we can make them feel special and seen. Love it!

Thank you to Net Galley, Familius and the author/illustrator for the early copy in exchange for an honest review!

Heartwarming, tender, and full of sweet surprises—this charming story hits all the right notes.

In Daddy Live in Concert, Tyler Hilton beautifully captures the magic found in the simple moments between a father and daughter. The story begins when a mysterious ticket slides beneath a little girl’s door, inviting her to a special private concert. What unfolds is an endearing performance filled with love, laughter, and the kind of warmth that only a daddy can provide.

I adored the way Hilton brought to life the wonder through a child’s eyes—every page felt like a soft melody of love and comfort. The illustrations perfectly complement the gentle, joyful tone of the narrative, adding to the overall charm.

This is a wonderful read-aloud book, perfect for bedtime routines or any cozy parent-child moment. As a parent myself, the story resonated deeply, reminding me that the greatest shows are often right at

I love the idea of a special, one night only concert! Bring all of your stuffed animals and get ready to join in on a fun night of entertainment. This was so adorable and I feel like the art style fits the book so well. It’s cute and a little quirky, just like the book!

Mother of two here! We loved the way the author, Tyler Hilton, hilariously set the stage for a fun, at-home concert. As a parent, I know the struggle to make the mundane (and sometimes long) days at home more exciting. I loved the goofy dad’s willingness to put on a show, for the entertainment of his wife and children. A rhyming children’s book is always a major plus for our family, too. The illustrations were absolutely adorable. My children and I loved spotting the different stuffed animals attending the show alongside the daughter. This book was original and clever, I would highly recommend it to any family with elementary-age kids.

Thank you to NetGalley and Familius for this eARC!

This adorable picture book is so much fun! Daddy doesn't just give his family real concerts, he sends out invitations and takes requests! And when you get tired, he'll help you off to sleep. I'm sad my daughter is too old for this in her night routine.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

This is definitely our new musical bedtime routine! So fun and interactive - making sure my son is tired for bed!

Thank you NetGalley & Familius for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Bedtime is super fun when you have a dad like this one.

It's almost bedtime, but then, a ticket appears slid under the bedroom door. The child can't believe her luck—she's going to a concert. There's a reserved seat, she needs to bring tons of her stuffed animals with her, and she has to appear in her pajamas. When she gets to the room, where the concert is taking place, she discovers Mom and her baby sibling already waiting for the show to begin. And what a show it will be, since it features the most amazing dad in the world.

A little imagination and silliness can go a long way, and these pages prove it. The girl's excitement for the concert radiates from the page, and it's inspiring how much effort her parents put into the fun. The preparations are simple but will have readers wanting to join right in...and be ready because they very well might insist on experiencing something similar themselves. But it's exactly this parent-child activity, which inspires in all the right ways. This gains an almost immediate interactive aspect, too, since the songs the dad sings are familiar to many young readers: Wheels on the Bus, Old McDonald, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

These pages make an easy read-aloud with a short, four-lined poem, which flows well. The illustrations are fun but carry a dimmer tone to match a darker, concert type of atmosphere...which slides right into a bedtime one, too.

This is a fun, simple enough read, which opens the door to some activities along the way.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for granting access to this book

This is a beautiful story that showcases the relationship between a father and a child. It also teaches children about the beauty of music. This is a story that is sure to touch the heart of adults and children alike.

This is a perfect book for any young child that idolizes their father. The father makes his child’s day by putting on a concert just for them and singing their favorite songs, Wheels on the Bus, Old McDonald, and Twinkle Little Star. I have a 2 and 5 year old that absolutely loved this book! I plan on purchasing this book as a Father’s Day present. Tyler Hilton nailed it with this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Familius for the advanced reader copy. This book will be published on April 8, 2025
