Lupettin iħobb lill-papà

Father’s Day is all about children celebrating their papa. So if your little one is looking for a fabulous way to tell his father that he’s the best dad in the world, then Lupettin is the, err, wolf to go to.

Lupettin iħobb lill-papà is a new title in the Lupettin series, the hugely popular children’s wolf character who is always up to some mischief or other. But in this book Lupettin is on his best behaviour and simply wants to tell us why he’s in awe of his mighty papa: he’s a football champion, a super chef and the best toy-fixer on earth.

Lupettin loves it when papa tickles him, when he gives him prickly kisses and when he carries him on his shoulder, or the aww-moment when he says: “Papa love it when I sit on your lap and you read me stories.”

Lupettin iħobb lill-papà is about the special bond between a father and child. It is an ode which rarely gets sung in children’s books.

Written by famous French author Orianne Lallemand and illustrated by Eleonore Thuillier, this book is one for the soul, and all the papas who get one are bound to go misty-eyed.

The Maltese translation by award winning author Clare Azzopardi gives it a life of its own, with carefully chosen words which enhance the dialogue.

It is printed in sturdy padded hardback with rounded corners, making them safe for playing. The books come with a European CE safety standard, with the attention to detail that readers and parents have come to expect from Merlin titles.

Lupettin iħobb lill-papà has no fixed target age but it is a book which can be read by the father and child to each other, before heading off for a game of footie, making it the perfect gift for Father’s Day.
