Ask me what I like.
What do you like?
As a father and daughter take an autumn walk through their neighborhood, the curious young girl is eager to share her thoughts about the world around them with her father and asks him to 'ask me what I like' — and her patient dad obliges. As they explore their neighborhood, she is inspired by all the things they see: frogs, geese, and even colorful fall leaves.
With so many things to enjoy, and so many ways to ask — and talk — about them, it's a snapshot of an ordinary day made magical through this loving father-daughter relationship. This story is a heartwarming and inviting picture book with a tenderly written story by Bernard Waber and glorious illustrations by Suzy Lee.
"A vivacious child and her father share an early autumn stroll. 'Ask me what I like,' she says. Dad's dutiful answer is printed in purple: 'What do you like?'... The patience required to converse with a small person who wants to dictate every part of the interaction is sure to be familiar to parents, but the poetic text rises above the mundane and captures the beauty, energy, and innocence of these conversations and holds them up for readers to appreciate without becoming saccharine or trite." — Anna Haase Krueger, School Library Journal
