- A Father's Day book for every day of the
year. Kevin and His Dad celebrates a young boy spending
the day with his father. Kevin and his dad one Saturday clean
the house, but they make a romp of it. They railroad the rug:
"choo-choo, I love cleaning up with you." Then they
play ball, read a book, and go to a movie, a true duet of father/son
love. "I love being with my dad. He's the best friend a
guy ever had."

solving her problem is wonderfully refreshing, and Geter's bright,
broadly rendered painting reflect the characters' feeling with
unusual sensitivity. A warm family story that should be around

- "Harlem in the50's, as Smalls remembers
it, is a true community - everything is shared. Being black is
shared too, but only as one more natural color in the rich canvas
of daily life. This is a nostalgic look at a less fractious world,
to be sure. But it's also a reminder that sometimes the urban
experience can foster community rather than alienation."
