This is is a good read aloud book to 2nd or 3rd graders to show them the importance of helping their parents around the house. This book is about a family. The father and two sons were dependant off of the mother for food, cleaning, ironing, and every household chore. One day the mom got sick of it and left. The boys did not know what to do. The house got really dirty, and they did not cook a good meal once. They did not do any laundry, or clean a dish. When the mom decided to return home the boys begged her to stay. Everyone started to pull their own weight, and it gave the mom time to work on the car. I liked this book because it shows sterotypes and ways to break them.
