An endearing tale about a little boy who wants to be sure. "See you this afternoon," says Daddy when he drops off Matthew at kindergarten. But Matthew says, "What if, this afternoon, the old green car doesn't start?" Thus begins a series of what-ifs that Matthew poses to all of Daddy's ideas about how he'll fetch him, each one more fantastic than the last: he'll come by teddy bear, by the wings of birds, by dragon! Finally, Daddy says he'll use his own two long legs, the ultimate reassurance that he'll come back for Matthew, no matter what! A hug of a book. Children will want to snuggle up inside its warm covers.
