This is a bright, cheerful and entertaining lift-the-flap book, published in a sturdy board format that's perfect for little hands to explore. It's full of imagination but also reflects the familiar, with lots of everyday items and scenes, which will appeal to babies and toddlers. I love how diverse the families are, and the illustrations are fabulous.

What an incredible book! I love the adorable illustrations and enjoyed the fun activities daddy is doing! I can see it will become an inspiration for all the daddies and children alike. Lovely book!

A lovely little 'lift the flap' book that will massively appeal to younger children!
Shows a picture of daddy holding or doing something, and you have to guess what it is he will be doing.
Lovely book, with great illustrations

This is a delightful little lift the flap book for babies and toddlers.
On each page Daddy is holding or wearing something and you have to guess what daddy is going to do before lifting the flap to find out. For example,
'Daddy has a cardboard box. What is Daddy going to do?
He is going to build a pirate ship'

There are lots of lovely activities that daddy then does with his children (fly to the moon, explore the jungle, play in a band.)
I can imagine young children joining in with the repeated refrain 'What is Daddy going to do' and enjoying lifting the flaps to find out. The illustrations are vibrant and engaging and I can imagine most children wanting to join in and pretend to do the same activities with their own Daddy!
Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this eARC.

A sweet little book aimed at young children. My son is a bit too young to have a guess but he thoroughly enjoyed the bright and colourful pictures. I liked the style of the book as a parent and my son was engaged with it whilst I read it to him.

What is Daddy Going to Do?
A lovely lift-the-flap style book that little ones will love and enjoy.

Each page starts with an image of ‘Daddy’ with a different item, followed by the repeated refrain “Daddy has a [item]. What is Daddy going to do?” Then by lifting the flap you discover what Daddy is doing, which is an activity that includes the children. For example, in one part he has a cardboard box, then you lift the page to see him playing in a cardboard pirate ship with the child.

The lovely illustrations compliment the text and show a clear image of what is happening on the page. Children would be able to look through this book independently and be able to understand what is happening without being able to read the words.

I think this is a perfect book for babies and young children to either explore independently or engage with an adult. It supports a child’s fine motor skills with its lift-the-flap contents and challenges children to think about what is going to happen next.

I received an advanced copy of this e-book to read and review. Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and author for this opportunity. A fab book!
