Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Rita Lorraine Hubbard, The Original H.I.R. (Historical Investigative Reporter)

For every child who is part of a blended family, Kelly Bennett's new picture book, Dad and Pop: An Ode to Fathers & Stepfathers, is an absolute must.

Dad and Pop is the super-sweet story of a young girl's life with her biological father--Dad, and her stepfather, Pop.

With brief, comfortable, conversational sentences, Kelly Bennett captures the child's accepting voice as she describes her blended family with a sense of pride and wonder. Illustrator Paul Meisel expertly captures the laid-back tone of this feel-good book with silly drawings littered with family photos, family outings, and fun family activities.

Five stars for this original look at blended families. This little book really packs a wallop!
