My Dad《我爸爸》可以說是安東尼 布朗對所有父親的獻禮，在這本幽默的圖畫書里，透過孩子夸張的幻想，塑造了一個讓人笑破肚皮的爸爸形象：這個爸爸24小時到晚穿著一件長長的睡衣，他不怕狼，一跳就可以跳過月亮，吃得像馬一樣多，游得像魚一樣靈活。
He’s all right, my dad. He’s as strong as a gorilla and happy as a hippopotamus. He’s a great dancer, a brilliant singer, he’s fantastic at football and he makes me laugh. A lot. But that’s not all that’s great about my dad.
My Mum《我媽媽》每一個孩子心中的媽媽都是很好的。我媽媽是一個很棒的廚師；她是一個神奇的化妝師；她是全世界非常強壯的女人；她還是一個奇異的園藝師，可以讓任何植物生長；她是一個仙女，在我沮喪的時候她總是有辦法讓我開心起來；她的歌可以唱得像天使一樣好；她吼起來像一頭獅子；我的媽媽像蝴蝶一樣漂亮，又舒適的像一個扶手沙發……她常常逗我大笑。我愛我媽媽，而且你知道嗎，媽媽也愛我，而且會永遠愛我。
She’s nice, my mum… My mum’s a fantastic cook, and a brilliant juggler. She’s a great painter, and the strongest woman in the world! She’s really nice, my mum.
