Among the traits praised\u003cbr\u003eare his enormous talent for singing, his near-professional wrestling skills,\u003cbr\u003ehis extreme bravery in the face of danger (he's not even afraid of the Big Bad\u003cbr\u003eWolf!), and his ability to -- quite literally, in Anthony Browne's world -- eat\u003cbr\u003elike a horse. All of the pictures feature the lovable pater in his signature\u003cbr\u003eplaid bathrobe, adding a further comfy layer to a book whose ultimate message\u003cbr\u003eis 'I love my dad.

But Dad turns out to be far more than all\u003cbr\u003eright. He scares away a wolf, jumps over the moon and walks along the\u003cbr\u003eclothesline as if it were a tightrope. His only failing is housework, an\u003cbr\u003eunfortunate clichÃ©. Each of the large, surreal illustrations includes the\u003cbr\u003ehumorous, subtle touches that make Browne's books so much fun.

'He's all right, my dad,'\u003cbr\u003ebegins the young narrator, pictured only in the final painting, receiving a\u003cbr\u003egiant hug from the object of his affection. Each page celebrates a specific\u003cbr\u003equality or accomplishment of Dad, illustrated with characteristically witty\u003cbr\u003epanache. Accompanying the proclamation that 'My dad isn't afraid of ANYTHING,\u003cbr\u003eeven the Big Bad Wolf,' is a picture of the fellow showing an overall-clad wolf\u003cbr\u003ethe door, as Red Riding Hood and three pigs peer out from behind a tree in the\u003cbr\u003ebackground; in another, the boy thinks his dad ranks as one of the three tenors\u003cbr\u003e('a brilliant singer,' Dad is flanked by Pavarotti and Domingo). Some of\u003cbr\u003eBrowne's playful imagery is obvious: the plaid pattern of Dad's bathrobe\u003cbr\u003eappears on a piece of toast popping out of the toaster, and he assumes the\u003cbr\u003elikeness of a variety of animals as the child announces that 'My dad can eat\u003cbr\u003elike a horse,' 'swim like a fish,' etc. Yet sometimes the artist creates some\u003cbr\u003eslyer graphic pranks. A childlike drawing of a sun that hangs on the wall on\u003cbr\u003ethe opening page, for example, later appears in a smaller dimension as a button\u003cbr\u003eon Dad's pajamas.
