Customer Reviews

Great book

This book is perfect for our family. My son always says he has really strange parents - which we are! Audrey and Don Wood are amazing authors. I highly recommend any of their books.

Celebrating Individuality

I enjoyed this book and I shared it with students who are ashamed of their parents or just don't understand them. It helps children realize that all parents and kids have differences and that's okay.

A treasure for any child's book collection

This book is beautifully illustrated and has such a warm and wonderful message. As someone whose father sent her to school with peanut butter, raisin, honey and banana sandwiches, I felt this book spoke directly to me. It's beautiful and funny to watch how this little boy just crumples with embarrassment over the eccentric behavior of his parents, but then comes to realize how their love is what is truly exceptional about them. It's just a great tale to which many of us can relate. By the way, you have to try peanut butter, banana, raisin and honey sandwiches! They're great.

What a hoot!

All parents seem a bit odd to their kids. This book makes you laugh at your differences. Very cleaver. Teaches love and acceptance and respect of our uniqueness.
