| Publisher Description: I'm taking you out for Father's Day, Susie tells Dad. First we'll go for lunch. Good, Dad says. May I drive? Certainly, Susie says. She chooses the restaurant, and pretty soon Dad can see that she's filled this special day with treats--treats for both of them! When they get back home, Mom's final surprise (that isn't really a surprise at all) is a perfect ending for the perfect day. |
