Dads are amazing creatures: They transform themselves into various animals to provide transportation for little travelers. They're always up for games like "Let's Look for Bugs Under These Rocks!" and "I'll Be Triceratops and You Be T. Rex." And nobody, but nobody, beats Daddy for daily stories.

So here are three enthralling stories about dads. The fathers in these books run the daddy gamut: the good, the bad and the in-between — because what fun is it to read only about perfect fathers, especially when we know they aren't the only kind?

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
