Perfect Gifts for Dad!
A Note from Andrew, RJ Julia's Adult Book Buyer:
As a still relatively new Dad, I’m starting to settle into Father’s Day.
Once minted as a parent, the expectations for your own celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries) go quickly downhill in lieu of your new roommate. Yet, the bike riding teacher, the garbage man, the taxi driver, the short order cook, the lawn mower, the spider killer, the boo-boo kisser, deserves his day.
One of these terrific reads, along with ample time for an afternoon nap, will ensure an enjoyable day for dear old Dad. Our booksellers are always ready to recommend books for dad (or you!) when you visit the store!

A Note from Jamie, RJ Julia's Kids' Book Buyer:
From omelette-maker to tree fort builder, fathers are turning up in all kinds of roles in kids’ books, even superheroes (no pressure!). But dads can be the best storytellers, too, with funny voices and a large comfy lap - what could be better?
Whether they’re wearing a cape or a princess crown, we’ve got a book to showcase dad's talents and celebrate this special relationship.
