A book my children still ask me to read to them, 2 years later by Valerie C. Emerson (St. Petersburg, FL USA)  5 Stars
February 27, 2010
Two years later and my children still ask me to read this book to them. The book helps you ask your children questions so they can express their feelings or concerns, or even ask you questions they may have been afraid to ask. It does a wonderful job of explaining complicated things such as court dates and the judge in a simple manner and how each parent may change or act.
As my children grow older, they understand more and more of the book. (My children are now 4, 6). Another book I would recommend is Mommy & Daddy Bear's Divorce which is particularly useful if the mother has primary residential custody.

a little more advanced by Wendy N. Powers (Greeley, CO)  3 Stars
December 14, 2009
This book was good, but a little advanced for my four year old. There was a lot of details about divorce and attorneys and such. I really didn't want my daughter to learn about all the unneccessary details, but overall it wasn't bad.

Great book for children going through a divorce by Jennifer Hegerty (Worthington, Ohio) 5 Stars
May 04, 2009
I am an elementary school counselor and use this book with children that I meet with in small groups. It is very hands on. We will read several pages and then answer the question proposed by the author at the bottom of the page. Discussions are created by the questions that relate back to the reader. Can't anything but good stuff about this book!

Valuable addition to a divorcing family's bookshelf by Single Mom (Jerusalem, Israel)  4 Stars
October 14, 2008
A straight-forward book for young kids. Kids who want the facts on the ground and appreciate reading about what's happening to them will probably gain from this.
My divorce was a year and a half ago and when I read this book to my 5 year old he was a little bit bored, but kids in the earlier stages of a family breakup may find it valuable.

Great read for little ones facing parental divorce. by Lady (Vegas) 4 Stars
September 16, 2008
Children need books they can relate to particularly in stressful times and this is one of them. Children need more than one book, as the books are explaining different aspects. Adults, parents, G'parents, etc. should also read a good number of books to help the child and themselves.
