In this delightful story, Julie meets a new boy in her neighborhood, David, whose father is a giant. "Munsch has another winner in this appealing story." - Canadian Materials "The pace is quick, the events bizarre, the appeal guaranteed." - Calgary Herald "David's Father touches on a fantasy children (and some adults) have: to find someone big, powerful and kind to protect them from a harsch world. And it does it with great humour and charm. Michael Martchenko's drawings, as wonderfully exaggerated as the plot, perfectly complement the text." - Quill & Quire
