Tender Story about Belonging in a Family

A great read-aloud for grades pre-K through 2, this is a wonderful story of a boy just trying to establish a relationship with his rough and ready step-dad. Bonus sub-plot of mom pregnant with the step-dad's twins. Heart-warming ending.Great story for all kids, but step-parent theme makes this of special interest to families involving a second marriage, step-siblings, or step-parent. Wonderful illustrations, too.

This book is very good!

I am 10 years old and read this book at school. It is a very good book and the story is easy to read. It teaches how a new family can come together.
