No Job Dad is definitely a different book. It is non-traditional. But kids seem to like the book. When substitute teaching for special education children, most of whom do not pick up a book for fun, the children like to flip through the pictures and sound out the words. They like to match the pictures with the words.

I like the book because the kids like it.

I believe this book will help to build self-esteem for some and empathy for others while addressing a prevalent family situation from a childs view.
It has a simple story line and relevant colorful illustrations throughout.
Noted artist and cartoonist James Hiram Malone has truly created a spectacular work in his book, NO-JOB DAD.

This is a great read aloud book. It is simple and has rhythm. Youngsters love to read along with it.
