Amazon.com Review:
Karen Katz whips together another fun, colorful lift-the-flap adventure, in the form of a wee home-improvement project between a father and child.
Displaying the same cheerful delivery and bright artwork that Katz used in Where Is Baby's Belly Button? and Toes, Ears, and Nose!, Daddy and Me tells its tale with a simple setup and sturdy flaps to lift on each two-page spread: "I'm helping Dad make something special. First we saw the wood. Where is Daddy's saw?" Two easy-to-grab flaps open to reveal that Daddy's saw is "In the... closet." Pencils, nails, screwdrivers, and a paintbrush are likewise hiding out around the shop, and it's up to Daddy's cherubic, gender-indeterminate little helper to track them down--with some help from the reader, of course, lifting up work gloves, a tool box lid, some paint cans, and a newspaper.
We finally find out what project Daddy had planned (which also explains why a cute chestnut puppy has been helping the helper all along): "At last we are finished. We made a doghouse for Henry! But where is Henry?" Readers get to lift one more flap to find out. (Baby to preschool) --Paul Hughes
Product Description:
Daddy is making a special project. Help him find the tools he needs by looking under the oversized flaps. Working with Daddy is so much fun!

- Definitely not her best book.
Eh, another "Daddy has tools" book- sexist, trite. There is nothing "stand-out" about the book- not the flaps, the artwork, the writing or the theme. We have a lot of the Katz books and I am much happier when my daughter brings me "Where is Baby's Belly Button" than any of the family-centered books, this one especially.
Rating: 
- Okay but not the greatest in the series
My daughter loves the lift flap books but definitely was not as into the story of this one compared to Katz's other books.It was nice to have one with daddy but doesn't keep her attention fixed.
Rating: - Cute but flawed
Everytime I read this book I am irritated by the fact that the father and son start by first sawing the wood and then after that measuring it. I can't beleive the editors didn't catch this. Overall I think it is a cute book and my toddler loves it.

- Great Fathers Day Gift
I bought this as a gift from my son to his Daddy for Fathers Day and they both love it.
Rating: - We have issues with it.
My daughter likes all of Karen Katz's lift the flap books, but this one isn't the greatest of topics for a 1-yr-old.Plus it perpetuates gender stereotypes.Even though the kid in the story is gender-neutral, the daddy is all about tools and building stuff.
