A tender, sweet story
Just would like to say that this story is wonderful in its portrayal of a boys being boys, a mother who has time, a brother who loves, plays with, and helps his little sister, and a Dad who indulges the eager interest of his young son (even if it costs him 10 minutes on the lawn job). My children love this story and don't think "mom" and "dad" are doing anything unusual--as has been suggested in some reviews. (too old fashioned in its view) The only exception is that Dad is using a funny looking lawn mower which only opens the door for some interesting conversation when the story is over. I highly recommend it!

Better than New!!
The theme at our literary group's last gathering was kiddie lit, and someone brought this in, having fond memories of using the Real Band-Aids[tm] that came with the book.

The evening grew late, we had just read _Everyone Poops_, still rather silly, so I read this to the crowd.

See, the plot is about this kid named Dan, and his coordination-impaired family. The first time he trips, his mommy (who is, of course, at home) cleans it and puts a bandage on the skinned knee, and proclaims it "better than new!" Bad move, mom.

He falls again, gets another bandage. His little sister's doll falls, gets a *bump* on her head, so dolly gets a bandage, too. (I expected a dent, not a bump, since that would involve blood coming to the point of the injury, but who am I to question Doctor Dan?) Dolly is better-than-new! Sis looks and finds an old scratch on her leg, so she gets a bandage, and is better than new. The dog holds up his paw...bandage...better....

The scary thing is DAD is with a LAWNMOWER! Apparently he just nicks his finger, so Danny-boy can fix it, but I was anticipating an amputation, with the severed body part taped on with LOTS of band-aids[tm].

I think Mom survives this freakish, accident-prone day unscathed, but I'm not sure. Buy it and check it out for me!

A wonderful book for small children
This book is one of my favorites for small children. The poem is very rhythmic and it captures a child's attention. The author compares a child's size to familiar things in the child's world and shows him how big he is getting. The old version with illustrations by Corinne Malvern is so precious. You are very blessed if you have a copy.

I remember my mother reading this book to me, and I'm sure her mother read it to her. I read it to my little sister thousands of times, it seems. I'm fortunate to be able to pass the tradition on to my daughter.
