Great illustrations, humor for grownups submitted by mollykleinman on July 10, 2018, 4:42pm I think the humor in this book goes over my kids' heads, but they like the story and the pictures.

Nice submitted by _desai_ on June 23, 2019, 5:50pm Good pictures and story

Power of words submitted by cdeucher on July 8, 2023, 8:24am Little kids will love this book just on the face of it and older kids will understand the message. I always like to have books with kids of color just doing "regular" things. Bonus points for a biracial family. It's really important for kids to see themselves in books.
