Nice to see our family

My husband is a stay-at-home dad (SAHD), and I work outside the home. While it's not said in this book whether the dad works or not (maybe he just gets home earlier than mom), without question my girls responded to it with great enthusiasm, as they recognized a family that looked more like theirs, and especially the anticipation of waiting for mom to come home while dad made dinner (I do also take the train, so that helped too). An entire book about something they do every day, their eyes just lit up! After two readings, my almost-four year old had it memorized and now "reads" it to her little sister, with great enthusiasm. It's a great book for families with preschoolers and SAHDs.
