Giddy-Up, Daddy!
For a great Father's Day gift, look no further! Giddy-Up, Daddy! is an imaginative picture book from comical author/illustrator Troy Cummings, who knows a thing or two about being mistaken for a horse!
When rootin'-tootin' Daddy the "horse" is eyeballed by some rotten rustlers, it's all the kids can do to keep him out of the big lugs' lasso. What follows is a quick detour through a rodeo, a trip across a circus high wire, and a near-miss in the Rockies, till the kids don Mounty gear and capture the bad guys for good. A celebratory parade at sundown leads the kids and Daddy back home into Mom's waiting arms.

I sort of shrug and try to change the subject, but for some reason they won't let it go.
"No, really,” they say. “We sincerely and frequently want to know!” At this point, I reach into my backpack and hand them a little pamphlet. This is what it says:
