Daddy Honk Honk Review

This post may contain Affiliate links. More information here.

Right now, Sunny is loving books with animals, so when Penguin Books offered to send us a copy of a new book from Rosalinde Bonnet, called Daddy Honk Honk, we were thrilled.  The book did not disappoint. It’s the story of how a tiny little gosling adopts an unknowing fox as its daddy. As a parent in a blended (and pending adoption family) this book really hits home because it teaches children that the meaning of family can be unconventional, surprising, and not genetically tied.

 
 
 

Aput the fox find an egg that has been abandoned. To his surprise, it hatches and a darling little gosling pops out. Throughout the book, the little gosling says “Daddy honk honk” numerous times.  This is my daughter’s favorite part and she likes to “read” the part of the gosling.  As the pages turn, Aput learns from the other animals what he needs to do to be a good dad. At the end, readers can see Aput following his fatherly instincts and taking care of his baby.  I’m not going to lie…. The ending brought me to tears.

Father’s Day is coming next month and this book would be a delightful gift for the father in your life to read with their little ones. Get your copy here:
