Daddy, Daddy Read To Me : A Book About Parental Functional Illiteracy

A story of little Dan who shamefully discovers, with his little girl friend, about his father's secret, (his functional illiteracy). DADDY, DADDY READ TO ME strictly looks into the problem of parental illiteracy & parents' ability to help their children in their home reading. DADDY, DADDY READ TO ME focuses in understandable children's language, this educational & human interest problem strongly affecting most young & adult Americans - illiteracy. Seen through the eyes of little Dan & his little girl friend Shawn while she was visiting, Dan suddenly discovers his father's secret - his illiteracy, in spite of his wealth. How did Dan make this discovery, & how did his little girl friend Shawn know about this? This is the fun part of the entire episode as the epitome of the whole dilemma unfolds. Most importantly, the author reasonably tries to explore & understand the hurt feelings of little Dan. The question arises, how did little Dan collect himself to deal with the unexpected discovery of his father's illiteracy & whether this will lead to a breakdown in child/parent bonding or reinforcement of it. How did she feel afterwards about Dan's Daddy? The author has touched a sensitive subject haunting most Americans, but was very meticulous in putting the issue in a clear, descriptive, & narrative children's (language). (C.A.
