Dani Vee, the author who brought us the heart\u2013warming book, My EXTRAordinary Mum, has done it again with another fun\u2013filled picture book. This time we follow the adventures of an enthusiastic, but unlucky, Dad in My EPIC Dad! Takes us Camping, the first of a six\u2013part series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dad in Dani\u2019s story is determined to get his kids out into nature. But his well\u2013planned camping trip does not go as smoothly as he\u2019d hoped, and he gets up close to more wildlife than he bargained for. This poor dad has run\u2013ins with ants, snakes, spiders and even a boar! He is battered and bruised, but the kids appear to be having fun \u2013 they are certainly experiencing the outdoors! \u2013 and ultimately, the family ends up having an EPIC time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My EPIC Dad! Takes us Camping is illustrated by Marina Verola. The pictures are bright and dotted with hilarious details, including ants holding picket signs \u2013 \u201cNo Camping!\u201d and \u201cSave our Nests!\u201d. These finer details give the book a richness and add to the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book will have little ones laughing out loud and pointing at all the funny things happening to (or about to attack) poor Dad! As we know, developing a love for books and reading is so important. Funny stories, like My EPIC Dad! Takes us Camping, hook kids, entertain them, give them joy and because of that they will most likely be readers for life. And, along with being super funny, you\u2019ll be able to start a conversation about the importance of trying new things and having adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though we are celebrating the special women in our lives this month, we couldn\u2019t go past My EPIC Dad! Takes us Camping. It\u2019s well worth a look and will be a fun one to read as a whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
