My Dad《我爸爸》可以说是安东尼 布朗对所有父亲的献礼，在这本幽默的图画书里，透过孩子夸张的幻想，塑造了一个让人笑破肚皮的爸爸形象：这个爸爸24小时到晚穿着一件长长的睡衣，他不怕狼，一跳就可以跳过月亮，吃得像马一样多，游得像鱼一样灵活。
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《我妈妈》每一个孩子心中的妈妈都是很好的。我妈妈是一个很棒的厨师；她是一个神奇的化妆师；她是全世界非常强壮的女人；她还是一个奇异的园艺师，可以让任何植物生长；她是一个仙女，在我沮丧的时候她总是有办法让我开心起来；她的歌可以唱得像天使一样好；她吼起来像一头狮子；我的妈妈像蝴蝶一样漂亮，又舒适的像一个扶手沙发……她常常逗我大笑。我爱我妈妈，而且你知道吗，妈妈也爱我，而且会永远爱我。
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.
