Daddy’s Book Club: Where Bedtime Stories Meet Real Life

As a mom, I love bedtime stories. But I also love watching the connection that happens when my toddler curls up with their dad and a book that actually feels like him.

So many children’s books are adorable, but they don’t always reflect the world dads want to share with their kids. And that’s where Daddy’s Book Club stood out to me.

Why These Books Felt Different in Our House

Daddy’s Book Club creates ABC books designed around dads’ real jobs, hobbies, and favorite sports, made specifically for toddlers ages 1–3. Instead of generic words, each letter connects to something dad actually knows, loves, and talks about in everyday life.

What really sold me?

Every single page includes a “Dad Fact” for that letter.

Those dad facts turn storytime into conversation time. Dad isn’t just reading words — he’s explaining, sharing memories, and making the book feel personal. It gives dads a built-in way to engage beyond just reading the page, which makes a huge difference during bedtime or quiet moments.

Books Built Around Real-Life Interests

Daddy’s Book Club organizes their books into three main categories:

Jobs – celebrating what dads do every day
Sports – turning game time into learning time
Hobbies – sharing dad’s favorite pastimes

These books help toddlers learn their ABCs while also learning about their dad — what he loves, what he does, and what matters to him.

Perfect for Sports-Loving Dads

One of my favorite parts of their collection is the sports series, which feels especially fun and intentional:

Each book combines bold illustrations, simple learning, and Dad Facts on every page that dads can expand on in their own way. It’s the kind of book that grows with your child — simple now, but full of meaning as they get older.

More Than Just ABCs

What I appreciate most as a mom is that these books don’t just teach letters — they create space for connection. They give dads something that feels theirs during storytime and give kids a deeper sense of who their dad is beyond everyday routines.

Whether it’s part of a bedtime routine, a quiet morning read, or a special dad-and-me moment, Daddy’s Book Club books feel intentional, thoughtful, and genuinely different.
