Loved it!!
My daughter and I loved this book! Her daddy is in Iraq, and books like this really help reinforce to her that daddy will be coming home, how important daddy's mission is, and why he has to be away from us. It helped let her know she is not the only one going through this. This one is excellent!

Wonderful book
When my husband activated as a National Guard member for a long term deployment overseas, it was harder to explain to my 2 and 4 yr old. Since we live no where near a military base, the deployment and military life was an unknown concept to them, past the fact that it is hard to explain to young children. I purchased the book before he left, and he read it to them. Afterward he had go it was something that they could relate to for this time of our life, with even my older two children getting reassurance as they read and reread it to my younger two. After he returns, I plan to put it in their memory box as something that really helped them to identify with this event in our life.

Wonderful book for preschool age children.

Short and sweet
It is a very short book. Being a board book, we expected that. But for the price we paid, we were hoping for a little more inside. Overall, it was average compared to the other military deployment books for kids. I wish they had more that werent so specific on army personnel though.
