Disaster Dad
(illustrated by Jenny Taylor)
Who’s over two metres tall, has hands the size of buckets, and leaves a trail of mayhem and chaos in his wake? Disaster Dad, that’s who! Meet him, along with the rest of the family, in a series of stories told by his ten-year-old son, Finn.
Disaster Dad is a three-book series for families and children aged 6+ written in collaboration with Irish rugby legend Donncha O’Callaghan.
In Disaster Dad: Chicken Chaos, Mum goes away for a week and leaves a master plan for Dad, Finn and Emma to follow but the plan is accidentally destroyed. Dad decides to do things his way, including planning a birthday surprise for Mum when she gets home.
In Disaster Dad: Fun Day Fiasco, Dad’s competitive nature is on display when the family takes part in a fun day to raise money for charity. He is determined to win, especially when he discovers his arch rival is taking part. With a welly-throwing competition, wacky races and a talent show to prepare for, the family are on a strict NO DOUGHNUTS diet and training regime. But will their efforts be enough to win?
