Having already planned my 2012 reading list, when a friend suggested that I read this book, I almost tucked it away for next year. I'm so glad that I didn't!

This is one of the sweetest books that I've read on family life.

There is nothing "deep" here, just sweet stories, honest thoughts and encouragement for families.

I loved this book! It may well be placed on a list of my "all time favorites"!

This is a fun and encouraging book on family life. The stories are from Doug Phillips' childhood or of his children and their many pets. If you homeschool or know someone who does this book will make you chuckle and maybe inspire you to institute some of Doug Phillips' ideas in your own family.

Very good book. Sweet stories with lessons. Good to read aloud with the family (as we did). Some of the stories are more humorous and fun for children, while others are deeper and more for adults.
