Such fun!

You will not be able to read this without laughing and your children will adore it!

story about diversity

This is a very funny story. It gives children a chance to explore diversity in a humorous way. This book goes through a huge explanation of WHY this family eats in the bath tub instead of "usual" places.

angela

This book made me wonder if i could eat dinner in the bathtub. This book made me laugh.

So funny!!!

My 5yr old read this to me tonight and the story is a riot! This family eats dinner in the bathtub, sleeps in the kitchen, etc. Nice story about differences.

Excellent for teaching about differences

This book is a great starting off point for talking with children about differences between people, and mutual respect. One boy is curious and asks the other boy why his family eats dinner in the bathtub, which leads to a series of matter-of-fact questions and answers about this unusual family and the way they do things. The dining room, you see, is where the family sleeps. Why not sleep in bedrooms? Because that's where they cook, and so on. It's charming, sweet, and decidedly whimsical, and good for bibliotherapy if you want to discuss with your child why it's okay for some people to do things one way and other people to do things another way.
