Editorial Reviews

A young girl tries to figure out what her parents are talking about; Mommy said she had a chocolate moose for dinner, and afterward, she toasted Daddy-yikes! Pictured also are the new wing on the house, Daddy playing the piano by ear, the arms race, and car pools. Older kids and adults will find Gwynne's deadpan humor hilarious, while younger readers may learn what those idioms actually mean.
