Matty however, seems determined to have the final word until dad comes up with a totally reassuring response that satisfies his young son once and for all. This sets off a question and answer game between child and adult with Matty’s dad coming up with increasingly crazy responses starting with using a neighbour’s big red tractor and escalating to flying on a huge green dragon. “What if the car doesn’t start again?” he asks. Matty is at nursery, driven there in Daddy’s old green car but after all the splutterng and struggling to get it going, the child is already worrying that his dad won’t make it back in time to collect him at the end of the session. With echoes of ‘Hush Little Baby’, this is a tale of paternal devotion put to the test. Daddy Long Legs Author: Nandine Brun-Cosme Illustrator: Aurélie Guillerey
