1: Excellent - very, very relevant
The child who read this kept saying - 'that's like me' as he realised just how much he had in common with the character - an excellent book, gentle, lyrical, clear and straightforward - comes highly recommended.

2: Perfect book for our family
This was a great book for our family - very positive about the relationship with former spouses. My ex-husband and I have a very positive relationship with one another and with our son, and this book was helpful to reaffirm that with him. I found that a lot of other divorce/two home type books had a silent negative outlook on it, and focused on overcoming that, rather than on reaffirming the positive things involved in a child having "two homes" or living in a divorced family. GREAT BOOK - HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

3: yep -- it's a good one
my toddler says this book is "good," a high compliment! it's simple, stays focused on the topic. i think the repetition helps to normalize and reinforce the message that having parents who live in difference homes is okay. also helps me to get into the mindset of my toddler, who's looking for a certain sense of belonging and security.

4: good book for children whose parents were never married
I've been looking for a book to read to my son about having two families. His father and I were never married, so most of the books don't apply to our situation, because they're about divorced parents. This book speaks nothing about the relationship between the parents. It is purely about the difference in mommy's house and daddy's house. It speaks as if this a natural arrangment, and doesn't suggest sadness or loneliness about the parents not being together. My son is only 18 mths old, but he likes the pictures, and it's a good, simple story-line for when he's old enough to understand. I highly reccommend this book for divorced, or never-married families.

5: review for two homes
This book was helpful, however, for very young children. Perhaps 3 to 4 year olds. I found it a little young for my 7 year old children. Good illistrations, very, very basic.
