Customer Reviews

Nancy, Grand Junction CO
An excellent domestic story of a Mother with both natural and adopted children. What amazing stories! Very humours questions asked by all 10 children. An amazing harmonius blend between the natural and adopted children as well as the Mother's endless loving patience. I laughed all the way thru it!

Sweet and funny
I found this short book to be quite entertaining. The stories are both touching and humerous. I recommend this book for any parent or individual with multiple siblings.

I stayed up to finish the book and giggled all night!
I picked up this book expecting to smile a few times and instead found myself laughing uproariously. The book is well written; each child is brought to life with these quirky anecdotes. The reader feels like she knows this family. I hope there's enough left in this family's funny file to create a sequel!
