My Kid Made Me Do It

Some days start with the best intentions - dishes to wash, a lawn to mow, a tax return to finish. But when the kids are in charge of the plan, "quick and quiet" doesn't stand a chance.

My Kid Made Me Do It is a funny picture book about a dad and his kid's pretend-play adventures - pirate battles, sock-store detours, secret castles, and dragon-guarding missions - narrated in his own exasperated, deadpan voice. Every chore gets hijacked by a bigger, sillier, more ridiculous adventure, and every time, there's only one explanation: the kid made him do it.

This is an imagination and pretend-play story for dads who never planned on fighting pirates before lunch, and for every parent, partner, or grandparent who's ever watched a "five-minute job" turn into an afternoon of chaos. Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt - perfect for bedtime story time, or any moment a quiet cup of tea gets interrupted by an invasion of the lounge.

A father's day gift book for dads who'd rather laugh than shush, and a silly picture book about everyday chores turning into the wildest adventures imaginable.

Great for:

• Dads (and the kids who run their days)
• Father's Day and new-dad gifts
• Bedtime reading that turns silly before it turns sleepy
• Families who'd rather laugh than shush

Because in the end, a house full of madness, daydreams, and chaos beats a quiet life every time.
