Review: My Epic Dad! Goes Extreme

Epic Dad is back, and this time he’s keen for more than camping or fishing. 

This time he’s going extreme. 

And when I say extreme, I mean EXTREME!

He runs at a fence he’s trying to scale.

‘Look at me go; this is EASY to nail!’


He leaps from a building, BUMPS into a tree,

A tooth starts to wobble – or maybe it’s three?!


After giving parkour a try, Dad moves onto skateboarding, scooters, motorbikes and more, each activity more extreme than the next, each adding more injuries to Dad’s poor bod. 

Can Dad survive his own extremeness?

This is a laugh-inducing, flawless rhyming delight! Author Dani Vee brings fun to every page, matched perfectly with Marina Verola’s bright and funky illustrations.

My Epic Dad! Goes Extreme is pure joy on the page. Perfect for schools, homes and libraries. It’s the kind of story that gets everyone laughing together. A gift! It's also great inspiration to get outdoors with the family and enjoy some activities together. Perhaps try something new!
