1. Because Your Daddy Loves You
by Andrew Clements
by Andrew ClementsI asked Ben what his favorite daddy book to read with Juliet was and he said it was this one. So there you go: straight from the daddy himself.
2. Animals Daddies and My Daddy
by Barbara Shook Hazen
by Barbara Shook HazenLove the vintage illustrations in this one!
3. Just Me and My Dad
by Mercer Mayer
by Mercer MayerWe have yet to meet a Mercer Mayer book that we don't like.
4. My Daddy and Me 
by Amy E. Sklansky
by Amy E. SklanskyThis was a favorite when Juliet was between the ages of 1 and 2. We read it over and over again!
5. The Bunny Book
by Richard Scarry
by Richard ScarryI LOVE this book. It's all about a little bunny who wants nothing more than to grow up and be a bunny daddy just like his daddy one day.
6. Love Me Tender
, illustrated by Tom Browning
, illustrated by Tom BrowningThis is an illustrated version of the Elvis Presley song. It's a beautiful book that shows a father's love for his daughter. Juliet loved singing this together with me.
7. Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me 
by Eric Carle
by Eric CarleEric Carle is one of my favorite author/illustrators and this might be my favorite book of his.
8. Let Papa Sleep!
by Emily Reed
by Emily ReedThis is one of those out-of-print vintage books that I like to write about, but I saw a few copies for sale on Amazon--so there is a chance you can find it! Juliet laughs and laughs at this story. She also likes for us to pretend to be the two little rabbits in the story who are making too much noise while Papa Rabbit is trying to sleep.
9. Just Like Daddy
by Frank Asch
by Frank AschA fun story that also has a cute "just like mommy" twist at the end.

Hmmmm..... What are my favorite Daddy books? I just found one the other day. Princess Stinky Feet, I think it is, where the Daddy is flying her all over.
Great list - we read some of these books. Anna really liked The Ten Best Things About My Dad
Thanks for posting this! Getting my father's day juices going...
Great list! Perfect for Father's Day. I (and my toddler) also love these 2 books:
I Love My Daddy Because

I love these and will definitely check them out. I recently reviewed a book by Margaret Wise Brown called The Fathers Are Coming Home which is very sweet, especially if you have someone in the military. (I am giving away a first edition copy of it when I get more followers.)
This list is great especially since Father's Day is around the corner! I have heard of some of these but will have to head to the library to check out the other ones. Thanks!
Definitely going to have to check out #1. Who can argue with a daddy?
aw. Great post! I love seeing a list of books involving dads ;) Thanks.
Btw, found you on the link up at Ohamanda's.
Great lists!! Can't wait to try and find a few of these.
Great list - several I'm going to have to go find! Daddy hugs is one of our favorites too. Last year for father's day, my mom gave my husband (and B) a book called My Father the Dog - it's pretty humorous. I may have to write it up in the coming weeks.
So fun, Vanessa! My fave is a Father/Daughter book called, "I'd Be Your Princess":

There is a mother/son version that I recently bought for Asa and it's super cute, too!
What a great booklist :0)
