An endearing tale about a little boy who wants to be sure. ñSee you this afternoon,î says Daddy when he drops off Matthew at kindergarten. But Matthew says, ñWhat if, this afternoon, the old green car doesnÍt start?î Thus begins a series of what-ifs that Matthew poses to all of DaddyÍs ideas about how heÍll fetch him, each one more fantastic than the last: heÍll come by teddy bear, by the wings of birds, by dragon! Finally, Daddy says heÍll use his own two long legs, the ultimate reassurance that heÍll come back for Matthew, no matter what! A hug of a book. Children will want to snuggle up inside its warm covers.
