Bloomingdale's short takes on family life are reminiscent of Erma Bombeck and Jean Kerr, except with 10 children to draw on, she has a perhaps somewhat wider field of play.
The reader will find some grins here, but few belly-laughs.

Dated humor, a bit like Erma Bombeck maybe. If it falls into your hands read it but don't seek it out.
