Tonight Show funny man, Jimmy Fallon, poured his creative energy into a cute book for toddlers called, Your Baby’s First Word Will Be Dada. Frustrated that his now-two-year-old daughter, Winnie, said, “mama” as her first word, he was determined to change that for his second daughter, Franny.

Fallon admitted that it is obvious what this book’s intention is: “There’s no plot. There’s barely a plot,” Fallon shared with Today Show host Matt Lauer. Fallon solely wanted to do everything possible to ensure that his and your baby’s first word will be, ‘dada’.”

I’m all for making it easier for dads to connect with their little ones—and for sparking a love of reading! Although dads are Fallon’s intended audience, I found this book quite endearing and fun to read with my little guys. My sons can already talk so I quite enjoy when we go through the book together—my youngest often has adorable things to say like, “That pig-daddy looks pretty mad!”

This is my husband and son reading a book together.

As I would expect from Jimmy Fallon, the images in his Dada book are goofy, bright and quirky. It’s a great read to spark little imaginations.
