This sequel to When I Grow Up, which ""Booklist"" described as "a story that celebrates the special bond between father and son," reaffirms that loving bond in a sweet and entertaining way.

""I feel so safe when I'm with you,"" Sebastian the little turtle tells his father. ""Yes,"" said his father. ""That's what a father does--""he keeps you safe."" Father relates some of the many things different fathers do for their children--""chirping encouragement as they learn to fly, setting up croaking concerts to showcase their talents--""and lets Sebastian guess just what animal father is being described. In the end, Sebastian, like children everywhere, decided his own loving father is the very best father of all!
