Nelly Gnu and Daddy Too Anna Dewdney 9780425289778

Nelly Gnu loves her daddy so much, so when she gets to spend the whole day with just him, she is over the moon. Even better, he has a special project for the two of them to do together - build a play house! A box, some tape, a saw, and string...Daddy can do anything! First they measure. Then they draw...Daddy tapes...and Nelly saws. Daddy Gnu even has a solution when Nelly worries that her house needs flowers. They'll go to the store to get some. But the store is a bit distracting, for both Daddy and Nelly, and when Nelly misplaces her dolly, she suddenly I realizes that she's lost her daddy as well! It's a scary moment for a little gnu, until Daddy swoops in with his strong arms and reassures her that he was there all along. Written in Anna's fun-to-read rhyming text, Nelly Gnu and Daddy Too in board book format is perfect for Anna Dewdney's youngest readers to read along with Daddy (and Mummy, too).

Llama's best friend Nelly Gnu has her own board book!

About the Author
Anna Dewdney was a teacher, mother, and enthusiastic proponent of reading aloud to children. She continually honed her skills as an artist and writer and published her first Llama Llama book in 2005. Her passion for creating extended to home and garden and she lovingly restored an 18th century farmhouse in southern Vermont. She wrote, painted, gardened, and lived there with her partner, Reed, her two daughters, two wirehaired pointing griffons, and one bulldog. Anna passed away in 2016, but her spirit will live on in her books.
