by Jody Jensen Shaffer (Author), Beatrice Tinarelli (Illustrator)
A cozy read-aloud for brand-new dads, this crinkle-filled board book wraps humor, love, and tactile fun into one irresistible gift. With cuddly, soft burrito swaddling on the cover and a dedication space on the back, it's made to be shared, squeezed, and remembered.
What could be cuter than babies wrapped like burritos? Daddy's Little Burrito celebrates that snuggly, silly stage with playful rhyme, vibrant art, and a soft crinkle burrito for little fingers to scrunch. Part love letter, part laugh, it's built for drooly storytimes, daddy-baby bonding, and endless rounds of "one more time!"
With a space for personalization on the back, it's the perfect pick for baby showers, birthdays, or a first Father's Day gift. Designed for ages 0-3 and sturdy enough for hugs, tugs, and giggles, it's a joyful first book that dads and babies will gobble up together.
