From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-- In a first-person narrative, a little girl with divorced parents spends part of the week with her mother and part with her father, both of whom love and care for her. But her fantasy is that when she grows up she will have only one house, where she will live every day of the week, without suitcases, and with both parents even visiting at once. In poignant episodes the child tells (with some subtle humor) how each house is set up, how each parent delivers her to the other, how each helps her pack. Each house has a photo of the narrator with just one parent: in the dream house, all three will be together in one photo. Trivas' soft, sunny, and lovely watercolors enhance the story by providing detail of cat and dogs, implied economic situations, and character. Lots of activity is compressed into the pages, which often show several scenes. In spite of the subject, the cheery art and the well-done text avoid sentimentality. An appealing and honest book, likely to find a devoted audience. --Leda Schubert, Vermont Department of Education, Montpelier
Mom and Dad Don't Live Together Any More by Kathy Stinson and illustrated by Nancy Lou Reynolds is a HB without a DJ. Condition: Good--book shows slight handling. This is the original version of this book--it has been updated in 2007 with slightly revised text and new illustrations.
Help! A Girl's Guide to Divorce and Stepfamilies is an American Girl Library PB. Condition: Very Good--looks almost new.
