Speaking up for this wonderful book.....
I had to write and speak up for this wonderful book. The pictures and text have captivated many students as well as my own 5 children.The adults that we share this book with roll with laughter at the great pictures and *awww* at the special relationship between Edward & Edwina.Its commendable that an author would show us that often times we mothers search for our *worth* outside of our own families, when in fact we are tremendously valuable people for putting our *first* efforts into raising our children. It is refreshing to see the story end up that mom and dad will take equal roles in raising thier children together.In rebuttal to the *Unintentional controversy* review : Any book could be seen as controversial depending on what your personal slant is.The nice thing is that nobody in our country is *Made* to read a book they dont care for.I just thought that someone should speak up for this wonderful book. Its not just for children either =0)

Awful Pics
The cover of the book is not really attractive and neither are those within. Kids might get frightened of the big green ugly bird on the cover and refuse to read.Contents-wise, the story is written in rhymes, good way to introduce children to that genre and poetry.
Children are also introduced to various kinds of occupations and realize in the end that it is important to share responsibilities. Good value for children.
