Customer Reviews

One that you will read again and again

My daughter (4 yrs) and I first took this book out from the library. Since we kept renewing it, I decided to buy a copy for ourselves. The book sends a wonderful message about taking care of others but also taking care of yourself. This book can also teach counting as well as the days of the week. I can hear my daughter counting all the things that Queenie does for her daughters and herself when she reads it to herself and when we read it together she always wants to count everything. An excellent book for girls.

Good for Mom and Daugthers

My daugther and I checked this book out of the library on a whim. What a great book. While some of it is impossible (On the day Queenie gave birth to 15 daughters...), the story is very sweet. It shows that you can do really nice things for your family but at the same time be able to do things for yourself. What is really nice is that my daugther likes to count all the things that Queenie does for her daughters from making birthday cakes, to building beds, to planning weddings for all fifteen girls. However the best is for the end since Queenie always gave her daughters everything that she could, she finally can do what she wants.
