Daughter (age 2) HATES daddy (we are still together)

Not a clue why, but she detests him. Anything he tries to do to make friends, trying to read a book, trying to play, cuddle, be funny, she wont even entertain it, she just screams at him and pushes him away. We dont know what he has done to offend her so much, he does work full time, so maybe doesnt spend lots of time with her, but he has her all day sunday when im at work, and the evenings. When im not there she just plays by herself apparently and mostly ignores him. We have 2 other kids and they dont have a problem with him. Its not a bloke thing because she loves my dad, and she only sees him probably once every couple of months! We are at a loss what to do. She loves books, but she would rather me take her straight to bed than listen to a book with daddy. Its really starting to affect him and makes him feel awful. Has anyone else ever had this, or any advice? Thanks
