The Berenstain Bears and the Papa's Day Surprise (Random House, 2003) by Stan and Jan Berenstain
While Mother's Day is a holiday worth celebrating, Papa Bear thinks that Father's Day is just a scheme to get folks to the mall. So he decides he doesn't want to celebrate this year.

Find out by sharing another classic Berenstain tale with your child and don't forget the detachable Father's Day card on the back cover!
My Daddy and Me (Knopf, 2003) by Jerry Spinelli
Dads are so much fun! Not only can they fix the house, pretend to drive to faraway places, give rides on their shoulders and play hide-and-seek, but they can also bake cookies, garden, dance and sing lullabies too! This is a great book that's fun to read and shows that moms haven't got the market cornered on having fun! Renowned artist Seymour Chwast's illustrations bring the book to life and capture the "dad and me" moments brilliantly.
