My Dad is Going Away, but He Will be Back One Day; A Deployment Story 1 review James Thomas, Melanie Thomas
Trafford Publishing, 2004
Poor quality book, also oriented toward Navy.
This is the first book I have EVER returned. I had hoped, despite the cover, that this book would be applicable to children with parents in any branch of the military. It is NOT. It's very strictly Navy oriented, with dad getting on a ship and working on a ship. Also, the book is very poor quality ...

When Dad's at Sea 1 review Mindy L. Pelton
Albert Whitman & Company, 2004
gentle story of the family of military left behind--
this is a sweet but realistic, gentle story of the child left home-fears, anger at loss of parent, puzzlement, and is handled with good story content and wisdom. I was pleased to give it to my grandson, who sometimes says his Daddy-out at sea- is "sick".

My husband has been deployed now for 1 month and I bought this book to read with my 11 month old. Obviously she doesn't understand why her Daddy is gone, but she can't get enough of this book. I have it memorized because she insists on reading several times a day. I guess it is the illustrations ...

I borrowed this book from the local library and I loved it so much that I had to go out and purchase it. While it is for children a little older than toddler age, any book especially one about a sensitive topic such as a deployment, should be pre-screened by parents.
I used to be in the ...
