Reading books is a wonderful experience [1] that parents and their children can share daily, and there are quite a few cherished children's books that explore the relationship between fathers and their kiddos [2] in particular that your little and their dad might enjoy reading together. From funny books about Dad's snoring or his love of Star Wars [3], to tender reads that show just how much dads care [4] about their kids, these 20 children's books [5] are great for reading on any day of the year, especially Father's Day [6].

Darth Vader and Son

"My son and my husband absolutely love Darth Vader and Son! It's the first book that my son actually sat down and read by himself. It is in graphic novel format so little boys (and grown boys) love it [12]." — Cindy Y. [13] of One Part Sunshine [14]
