ReviewsPRAISE FOR BECAUSE I'M YOUR DAD ". . .Zappa and Santat maintain an entertaining balance between sweet and goofy, protective and raucous."-- Publishers Weekly, "A rowdy catalogue of Dad moments gets enacted by a creature who resembles a green '60s-era Nauga monster and his purple (gender-neutral) offspring, in this picture book from the son of the late Frank Zappa (and a father himself).... Throughout, Zappa and Santat maintain an entertaining balance between sweet and goofy, protective and raucous."-- Publishers Weekly, "Zappa presents a daddy monster who tickles, plays games, plans fun-filled excursions, and offers spaghetti for breakfast and ice cream in the tub.... Young children will probably giggle and warm up to the monster dad, who appears more silly than scary in Santat's exuberant illustrations."-- School Library Journal, "Unbashed sentimentality dominates the text in this loving promise from a father to his children.... Zappa wrote this story for his daughter, and it overflows with genuine fatherly affection that he would like to pass on, since his father (avant-garde rocker Frank Zappa) did the same for him."-- Kirkus Reviews, PRAISE FOR BECAUSE I'M YOUR DAD "Young children will probably giggle and warm up to the monster dad, who appears more silly than scary in Santat's exuberant illustrations."-- School Library Journal
