Book with two dads

Does anyone know a book where there's two dads in the story? But it's not a book about having two dads. So it's just a nice kids book and the character happens to have two dads rather than a story about adoption or surrogacy or families in all shapes and sizes?

I’m not sure what age range you’re after but Bathe the cat is a fun book for little kids about a family with two dads trying to get the house tidied before guests arrive.

I'd recommend "The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher" by Dana Alison Levy. This book features a family with two dads and four adopted boys. Their family structure is just part of the background as the story focuses on the boys' various adventures and mishaps.

Also, consider "The Tea Dragon Society" by Katie O'Neill. One of the main characters has two dads. It's a fantasy story about magical tea dragons and isn't centered on the family structure.

@Livelaughlurgy, Harriet Gets Carried Away and The Marvellous Doctors for Magical Creatures are both sweet picture books where there just happen to be two dads.

So sorry not what you asked but the cartoon Vida the Vet has 2 dads in a very casual normal way not as in the focus of the story

The Last Firefox by Lee Newbury. It’s a middle grade book so for around ages 8-11

The Marvellous doctors for magical creatures is lovely. Also a nice story about identity. Centred around vets of magical creatures and their helpful daughter.
