Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"I feel so safe when I'm with you," Sebastian the little turtle tells his father. "Yes," said his father. "That's what a father does - he keeps you safe." Father relates some of the many things different fathers do for their children - chirping encouragement as they learn to fly, setting up croaking concerts to showcase their talents - and lets Sebastian guess just what animal father is being described. In the end, Sebastian, like children everywhere, decides his own loving father is the very best father of all! This sequel to "When I Grow Up..."which "Booklist" described as "a story...that celebrates the special bond between father and son," reaffirms that loving bond in a sweet and entertaining way.
First published in Switzerland under the title Wozu ist ein Papa du?
A turtle father and son play a guessing game about what kind of father does certain things for his children, such as chirping encouragement as they learn to fly, or organizing a croaking concert.
