There is something for everyone in this wise and witty celebration of families -- poems about the only child, brothers, uncles, adopted babies, stepsiblings, and moms and dads. Mary Ann Hoberman's sing-song verse and lively humor is paired with Marylin Hafner's fun and energetic illustrations, and together they capture what makes family life so wonderful and unpredictable. This is a perfect read-aloud book and a special treat for families to share.
