Thank you to Net Galley and Charlesbridge publishing for providing me a copy of this book.

The story starts off as a story of rivalry between two boys. They each believe that their dad is the 
 strongest, and talk up tall tales about their dads carrying trucks and elephants, and even pregnant elephants-until it all comes crashing down.
Then the boys see that’s there’s more to life than being strong. I really enjoyed the part where one dad is tending to the other wounds and bringing him food. It shows that men and boys can also be gentle and caring. My only complaint is that the dads had no dialogue, and while I understand the story is from the boy’s perspective, it would’ve been nice to have a lesson about rivalry. I still enjoyed it though, especially because of the illustrations. I loved the small details like the baby elephants smiling in their mother’s bellies and the expressions the elephants made throughout the story.
I think this book would be enjoyed by families with two dads and by blended families. The sentences are simple enough for newer readers to read to their family.
