Rating: - one of our current favoritesThis, along with Something Special for Me have been top picks for our 3 1/2 year old for the last few months. She asks for them over and over.

They need to know that not having a GOOD husband/father at home is not a good thing. Also, I thought the book was boring and the chair was ugly.
