Cozy Storytime: The Daddy Mountain by Jules Feiffer
Today’s cozy read‑aloud is The Daddy Mountain — Jules Feiffer’s warm, funny celebration of physical play, trust, and the bond between a child and a parent. Feiffer’s loose, kinetic linework gives the story a sense of joyful motion, while the narration captures the breathless excitement of climbing “the Daddy Mountain.” Before recording, I spent a few minutes making an index‑card art project inspired by Feiffer’s expressive lines and warm palette. This small ritual helps me slow down, notice the visual language of the story, and enter the illustrator’s world with intention. This book is wonderful for: • Social‑emotional learning — trust, safety, reassurance • Early literacy — expressive reading, rhythm, voice • Visual literacy — gesture, line quality, movement • Classroom/library read‑alouds — family stories, emotions, character motivation • Cozy storytime moments — warmth, humor, connection 🎥 Watch the full cozy read‑aloud and enjoy this affectionate, giggle‑filled story.
