This book is about the small family and their daily life. The smalls reminds me of your average American family in the past years when life was simple. The small Smalls looks up to their mother and father. I enjoyed reading this book because this reminds me of my grandmother and grandfather on how they raised their children and it is being passed down generation to generation.
Family life the way we wish it was - everything works. The Waltons ala Lenski. Church on Sunday - of course! - and nobody in blue jeans. Mom isn't doing yoga to calm down and Dad isn't doing meditation to try to get in touch with his inner man. That's back when they used the Bible to base their lives on. Pretty simple - but then they weren't as sophisticated as we are.
This book is about the Small family. It goes through each day of the week and explains what the family does on those days. For instance, on Monday, Papa Small goes to work and the kids wave goodbye, then Mama Small cooks, and after that, they all help around the house.
Excellent book for child three ot five years of age who is in early stage of becoming bilingual
A wonderful book about life in the family, back in time. Innocent!
This is a book about the Small family and what they do everyday.
