A day at the park. A ride on Daddy's back. Run, Daddy Faster Faster How fast can Daddy go? Faster than a dog? A horse? How about a cheetah? Must his feet even touch the ground? Leslie Patricelli reprises the duo from Higher Higher in another humorous riff on a favorite pastime -- a laugh-out-loud-funny tale of few words about doting dads and high-energy kids whose imaginations know no bounds.
