“How to Surprise a Dad” by Jean Reagan
It’s Father’s Day! When a brother and sister set out to become the ultimate surprisers for their dad, the first step is to keep him unaware of their plans. They cleverly disguise their helpful guide and tuck it away among books that their father is unlikely to read. With their mom’s assistance in organizing everything, they occasionally divert their dad’s attention with a silly dance. Come along as we uncover the delightful surprises the trio has planned for their dad! Enjoy an exciting craft, lively singing and dancing, and a wonderful time in our lovely 2-acre English garden.
