Book Overview
Mama's back from work! "Mama's coming home," says Papa. And that's all it takes to get this rambunctious household - two boys, a baby, a dog, and a cat - to settle down. As they pitch in, preparing dinner and straightening up the house, Mama crosses the bustling city, eager to be with her family. Tomek Bogacki's clever illustrations and Kate Banks's rhythmic text capture the spirit of activity and anticipation as finally, at the end of the day, their two worlds cometogether. Children will delight in sharing in the celebration of this everyday homecoming.

Nice to see our family
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
My husband is a stay-at-home dad (SAHD), and I work outside the home. While it's not said in this book whether the dad works or not (maybe he just gets home earlier than mom), without question my girls responded to it with great enthusiasm, as they recognized a family that looked more like theirs, and especially the anticipation of waiting for mom to come home while dad made dinner (I do also take the train, so that helped too). An entire book about something they do every day, their eyes just lit up! After two readings, my almost-four year old had it memorized and now "reads" it to her little sister, with great enthusiasm. It's a great book for families with preschoolers and SAHDs.
