June 18th is Fathers Day in the UK and in previous years we have given Daddy a picture book as a gift. We’ve already written a blogpost about some of our favourite picture book fathers but there are so many more that we’ve written another which includes some more recently published picture book dads.
Daddy’s Sandwich by Pip Jones and Laura Hughes: Ruby decides to make a sandwich filled with all Daddy’s favourite things. She includes some amazing ingredients but we like her final ingredient the best!

Thank you for including both of my Little Fox books, Catherine. Sadly, it’s a bit hard to find ‘A New Home for Little Fox’ these days, but copies of the new edition of ‘Daddy’s Little Star’ are ready to hop off the shelves. There’s another lovely daddy in ‘Keep Love in Your Heart, Little One’, by Giles Andreae and Clara Vulliamy. Happy Father’s Day!
You’re very welcome Janet! It would be lovely if A New Home for Little Fox could be republished too 🙂
Thank you for the Keep Love in Your Heart suggestion. The book’s cover is gorgeous.
These are such lovely choices, perfect gifts. Thanks for sharing with #readwithme
There are so many wonderful picture book dads out there 🙂
Some lovely suggestions that we haven’t read yet 🙂 #readwithme
We’d love to know who your favourite picture book Dad is 🙂
What a lovely idea! Sadly my husband is SO uninterested in books that I can’t get my head round it. Apparently books are ‘boring’. How is that even possible?!
Oh my goodness. I can’t understand anybody who finds books boring. I’m sure that there’s a book for everybody out there!
What a great selection! We love Daddy books! #readwithme
Do you have a favourite Daddy book?
I am not a child and don’t have kids, but I love reading children’s books sometimes. I think School for Dads sounds so cool. #readwithme
School for Dads is a great story 🙂 I love reading children’s books too, there are some great books to choose from.
A lovely selection. Great idea for Father’s Day #readwithme
Thank you! I hope that you had a good Fathers Day 🙂
This is a lovely selection of books, Daddy’s Sandwich is on our wish list. We gave I Love My Daddy as a first Father’s Day present 🙂 #readwithme
There are several I Love My Daddy picture books. We gave the Sebastien Braun book but I know there is also I Love My Daddy by Giles Andreae.
