Where did Dad learn how to be the best father ever? At Dad School, of course!   In this adorable kid’s-eye view of what would happen if Dad went to school, a little boy imagines a place where all dads learn their amazing skills, like giving piggyback rides and making giant sandwiches for lunch. With warm, silly illustrations and a fun role-reversal story in which dads act like kids, young readers will love imagining what would happen if their own dads went to Dad School. And don’t forget Mom: Look for the companion book, Mom School !  "An amusing perspective on fatherhood."— Booklist "Sweetly funny and full of paternal devotion."— Publishers Weekly "A likable and loving tribute to dads . . . Children will be swept along by Burris’s upbeat, endearing illustrations."— School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1—What is Dad School? Lucas, the young narrator of this picture book, envisions it as a place where studious men gather to learn how to fix boo-boos, mend leaky faucets, and make fabulous food like giant sandwiches with pickles and chips. Van Slyke fills the pages with affectionate commentary and only occasional snark: "Sometimes I think my dad missed the days they taught about matching clothes, brushing hair, and cleaning the bathroom…. But I'm glad he was there when they taught about making ice cream sundaes, telling silly stories, and giving piggyback rides when I'm too tired to walk anymore." Lucas decides that his father must have been the best student at Dad School and that he takes his position seriously. Children will be swept along by Burris's upbeat, endearing illustrations.
