Your Baby's First Word Will Be DADA by Jimmy Fallon
Your Baby's First Word Will Be DADA
by Jimmy Fallon
Jimmy Fallon mentioned this book on Twitter around Father's Day, and a few weeks later, I stumbled upon it at the library. So I picked it up and gave it a read. It shows a bunch of different daddy animals and their cute baby animals... whose first words are not Dada, much as the fathers want them to be. The story is simple and repetitive... but the art is so adorable that you just have to keep reading. I loved all the different animals. And I even got a kick out of the author's bio:
Emmy Award and Grammy Award winner Jimmy Fallon did everything in his power to ensure that his daughter's first word would be "Dada!" Yes, he has many other projects on his plate, like hosting NBC's The Tonight Show. But he was determined that his daughter would say "Dada!" before any other word. He worked very hard on this. Jimmy Fallon lives with his wife, Nancy, and their daughters, Winnie Rose and Frances Cole, in New York City. Winnie's first word was "Mama!"
Definitely a cute, fun read. Probably not worth buying, but if you come across it in the library as I did, give it a go :-)
