My Epic Dad! Takes us Fishing (My Epic Dad!)

Dani Vee (text) and Marina Verola (illustrator), My Epic Dad! takes us Fishing (My Epic Dad!), Larrikin House, July 2023, 24 pp., RRP $19.99 (pbk), ISBN 9781922503879

This rhyming story begins with two children reluctantly accompanying their enthusiastic dad on a fishing trip. Everything goes wrong for their bumbling father, from falling out of the boat to being zapped by an electric eel. Verola’s comic-style illustrations add to the fun. Kids will delight in the depiction of amusing scenes, such as a pair of cranky crocs tearing dad’s love-heart covered jocks.

This book follows My epic Dad! takes us camping. There’s a nod to kids being smarter than adults in this book that children will enjoy. You can also find an Extraordinary Mum book. Light-hearted fun!
