review 1: This book is about a young girl with divorced parents. Molly lives with her mother and does not have a close relationship with her father wholeness far away. She tells her classmates a lot of stories about her dad that she has made up in order to impress them. Then her father comes to visit. At first, she thinks that they won't get along. In the end, they do end up being really close and Molly then has stories to tell her classmates. The book is kind of sloppy looking and the illustrations take up the full pages. The illustrations are mostly realistic and are done with paint. The book is full of onomatopoeias and made up words. The narrator is the little girl Molly.
review 2: This is a fun book to share about a little girl getting to know her dad who lives far ... moreaway. The preschoolers liked the way she discovers what she loves about her dad, and how they can be silly together. It made them think about how much they love their dads, how they like trying on his clothes and being silly with them. I liked the way it shares the story of a little girl whose dad "lives a whole plane ride away."The kids I read it to had a little trouble understanding why the dad lives so far away, but they understood Molly's feelings - first of apprehension when her dad came to stay with her, and then pride when he told stories to her class, and finally joy with her love for her dad.A great story to share and talk about dads and different family structures. less
