The best father figure in a kid's book is Atticus from To Kill A Mockingbird because he was kind and wise.

I would say Pa Ingalls, too. I also liked the father on the Waltons. Thanks for having the contest!
By Renee,

By Marie,
From Barnhart
Well, I have to agree that Charles Ingalls was a very devoted father even if he did move the family a lot.

I have to go with the father in We're going on a Bear Hunt that takes his 4 children on a pretend bear hunt.

From Longwood
I'd have to say the character of "Lazarus Long" created by Robert Heinlein. NOT a prudish individual, definitely competent and one to learn survival skills from. An old-fashioned gentleman with a "no suffering fools gladly" attitude. Anyone who lives to be 2300 years old WILL have learned a few things.

I really liked the dad from Stuart Little. Mr. Frederick Little was a family man and was very caring and understanding.

From Longwood
Would Gordon count, in the Sesame Street books? How about the father in Marc Brown's 'Arthur' series? I still think it's a tie between "Cliff Huxtable" (Bill Cosby) on "The Cosby Show" and "Andy Taylor" (Andy Griffith) on "The Andy Griffith Show", though, if you're considering important role models in the past who weren't exactly "in print".

I am going to have to go with Charles Ingalls from the Little House series, too. He's the best book dad I can recall.
By Benita,

How about the Dad in Brooke Shields new book, "It's the Best day Ever, Dad?" The book portrays a really fine relationship between dad and daughter.

Richard Russo writes fathers well, both good and bad. I'd pick Sully, or at least some of Sully, as a father role model for older or grown kids.
By Jessica,
From Panama City
The other day my daughter and I read Mr. Peabody's Apples. Mr. Peabody was a great role model because he taught one of his players a great lesson about spreading rumors.

Rhett Butler of Gone With the Wind stands out in my mind as a loving, devoted father. His heartbreak over losing his precious daughter rings true...
By Kris,

Papa Bear from The Berenstain Bears series is a great role model because he's always present. Not always making the best choices, but always there.
