Papa, Do You Love Me? by Barbara M. Joosse

A Day with Dad by Bo R. Holmberg
Tim doesn’t live with his dad, but on this special day his dad is coming in on the train to spend the whole day with him. They get to eat hot dogs, go to the movies, have dinner and read stories. Now the day is over and Tim is sad to see his dad go—but he knows he will get to see his dad again soon.

A Father Like That by Charlotte Zolotow
A young boy tells his mother about what his father would be like if he had one. He’d play with him, talk to him, reassure him when he was afraid or hurt, he’d go to parent-teacher conferences, and no matter what his dad would always be on his side. When he is finished his mom tells him that if that dad doesn’t come along—he can be a father like that when he grows up.
