My Daddy Rules the World: Poem about Dads by Hope Smith -ADVISABLE

Smith, Hope My Daddy Rules the World: Poem about Dads, PICTURE BOOK. Christy Ottaviano Books(HenryHolt), 2017.  $18.
This book features short poems about dads. Dads that are in the military, dads that read to you, dads that make you laugh, dads that play baseball, and many more. Illustrations are collage style.
The rhyming schemes in the book would be incredibly easy for student’s readers to understand and enjoy.  Every reader would find a dad poem that reminded them of their own dad. The face less collage style illustrations may help readers to see themselves and their fathers in the imagery, but kind of creeped me out personally.
