Good Dad Diego

In adorable photographs, Maloney shows Diego the pug sporting hats and other duds that demonstrate many of the jobs that fathers might do (“He wears a lot of hats”). Diego dons a police cap for his role as “the law” (he’s in charge of policing the pooping on floors and digging up of plants) and wears a chef’s toque when cooking dinner (“meat casserole. Again”). Diego cleans (licks) dishes, does laundry (he appears with a pair of Buzz Lightyear underpants on his head), and sets a good example by donning warm winter garb. At last, readers meet the pug puppies that call Diego “Dad.” It’s a one-note gag, but readers will appreciate the humor relating to Diego’s not-always-successful attempts at fatherhood. Ages 3–5.
