Disaster Dad: Animal Antics
Disaster Dad: Animal Antics is the third instalment of the Disaster Dad series capturing the adventure of ten-year-old Finn and sister Emma as they are chaperoned on their school tour to the wildlife park by none other than Disaster Dad himself. His promise? No more disasters!
But Dad has a lot to contend with. With nothing more than a cheese sandwich, a ferocious appetite, and a willingness to be helpful, the kids worry Dad won't be able to keep it together. Dad, an ex-rugby player, is as massive as his heart is and he tries to look after the kids with hilarious consequences. Much like the previous books, Taylor’s illustrations capture the scenes justly, reinforcing the storytelling at key scenes. The facts about animals readers discover along the way will make the reader feel like a participant on the tour of the zoo. There is also a funny twist ending which readers will enjoy.
This book isn’t just funny scenes and a silly dad. It also has important messages around fears. It teaches us that even adults as big as Dad have things they're afraid of and admitting to them shows bravery. The book also teaches how families can face fears together.
Fans of the series will not be disappointed, this book will encourage readers of all levels as they’ll be swept away by the book’s fun and endearing characters.
