An important book
Lots of children like to play rough with Dad but Dads sometimes get carried away. This book shows how children can stop the play when it scares them - but start up again at a lower level of intensity. It's also great fun and wonderfully illustrated.

Have you heard these words????
If you have, then this book is for you! If your child is in the terrible twos-or threes, then you will both like this book! It is amusing for the toddler to be in the grown-up role. There is a message for parent and child alike.

delightful
I loved this book. This story shares both Robbie's and his mother's feelings with humor, and you sympathize with both of them. Robbie solves his problem using his imagination, something kids really appreciate. The drawings are also darling, bright and colorful. This is one book I didn't mind reading more than once at a sitting.

in Extra-ordinary times, no one is ordinary
I lost someone that day. It's not something I can easily discuss, et when I "accidentally" picked up this book for my construction loving son, I didn't know what I was in for, but I am so thankful to have read this book with my children, ages 6 and 8. My 8 year old recognized the storyline though my 6 year old didn't quite pick up on the parallels. It is genlty told, with MUCH room for ...

Siblings
Lynne Jones and Petra Mathers have portrayed a wonderful strategy, in this story, where the older child learns how to enjoy his special day and have his brother share in the activities. It is a very cute story. This would be an excellent book to share with an older child who is feeling that their younger sibling is being a pain, or with both siblings to show them how they can get along. I would ...

Mom Pie
