The Eensy Weensy Spider Freaks Out (Big Time)
Giddy-Up, Daddy!
by Troy Cummings
Ages 2-5 40 pages Random House April 2013 Hardcover    

The brother and sister in Cummings’s (The Eensy Weensy Spider Freaks Out) newest picture book brag about their dad’s ability to play horsey.
“He was sure-footed on any terrain- carpet, hardwood, or linoleum. He could scoop up his kids and take them from bed to breakfast before the toast popped up.”
When a couple of horse rustlers pursue their dad through a circus, a polo match, and a rodeo, their dad’s speed, endurance, and agility allow him to return safely home (with the children on his back). The children’s afternoon of imaginative play continues when mom offers airplane rides before dinnertime.

Canadians will be happy to see the important role the Mounties play in the backyard chase. The playful parents in this book will likely entertain many a young audience.
