Bound To Stay Bound

Booklist - 05/01/2023 A gap-toothed child spends a fun-filled day with their father and pup in a cheery beginning reader well suited to early primary grades. The story begins as Mom drops the child off at Dad’s, where they whip up a pancake breakfast. Their planned bike ride gets stymied by storm clouds, but board games tide the two over until skies clear. An afternoon enjoying the outdoors follows—“We fly kites. We look at clouds”—before dinner and bed. Bright digital artwork with bold black outlines supports the text, fills pages, and features an active child enthusiastically enjoying undivided parental attention. Short sentences in a large font sit on clean backgrounds, supporting an emerging and early reader audience. A good everyday selection for single caregivers as well as a promising Father’s Day pick. - Copyright 2023 Booklist.
