Oh! Well, *I* loved it. But do children? It's awfully earnest.
I particularly loved the illustrations. In them it's incidentally revealed that Tom is adopted (Korean?) because the rest of the family is ordinary Caucasian. Also revealed is that the siblings love each other, the 3 large pets love each other, the parents are proud of their kids, and Tom has difficulty keeping track of his socks.
I really would appreciate knowing what the target audience thinks of the book.
