This toddler is busy helping Daddy with various household tasks, from laundry and cooking to eating and planting. Each time, Daddy is also busy cleaning, since toddlers are quite messy with these activities. Happily, Daddy and toddler become busy with laughing during a bubbly bathtime and fall asleep together during storytime. Colorful digital illustrations accompany a few words per page, showing Black toddler and Daddy, the youngster’s antics and the dad’s patience. Easy to share and read aloud; the experience may be enhanced by an audio version on the publisher’s website.
