Best book about Daddy for 2 year old?

I want to find a book about Daddy for my DH's Christmas stocking so that he can read it to our 2 year old DD. She already has 'I love my Daddy' which she loves. Any good recommendations?

There's a nice one called Me and My Dad but it's a big hardback so wouldn't fit in a stocking! Book People sometimes sell it in a set with Me and My Mum! They're about bears!

There's one called something like "my amazing dad" which was a cbeebies bedtime story recently and we've also had out of the library. A baby crocodile finds out what his friends' dads are good at (hiding, running etc) and wonders what his dad does. It's lovely.

"Sorry dad" Maxine lee www.amazon.co.uk/Sorry-Dad-Maxine-Lee/dp/1848574045

It is cute and funny, and sums up the relationship and the behaviour of a child very well.

My 2 DCs loved Clever Daddy www.amazon.co.uk/Clever-Daddy-Maddie-Stewart/dp/0744598060
It's a rhyming story and we all new it off by heart eventually Grin

Anthony Brown 'My Dad' is great. Beautiful illustrations, which are funny and prompt lots of chatter and questions from small people.

Definitely agree with Anthony Brown's "My Dad" - just lovely. Makes me tear up now though just thinking about the last few pages..
"I love my Dad...and you know what?

He loves me. And he always will."

And remembering DH reading it to our son just after his own father had died...A sad but beautiful memory if you know what I mean.

'Can't you sleep little bear' is lovely about a dad and child, my children all adored it
