The dad library ISBN: 9780552529792
Published by Corgi, 1997
Joseph is tired of his untidy, forgetful dad, and as his mum is in hospital, he has to put up with dad all the time. Dad always collects Joseph from the library in the afternoon, and one day he discovers a Dad Library behind the regular one. From there he chooses and takes home first an Organiser Dad, then a Clever Dad and finally an Indulgent Dad. There is a spot of bother at the end when he discovers his own dad has been taken out and there is an eighteen month waiting list before he can get him back. But he and dad escape, and Joseph knows that there is no one like his own Ordinary Dad, who understands the family jokes and loves him without question. Wonderfully zany with black and white line drawings.
