from Puffin

Customer Review:
I was very shocked when I read this book to find that so many people deem these appropriate for children. They do have some information for the kids to learn from (the reason I chose them originally) but the way the children talk and act is terrible! I had only thumbed through one and chose it from... more info

My husband, my 2-year-old daughter, and I are huge fans of the sequel - "The Happy Hockey Family moves to the country." So we were all very excited to get our hands on this book also.
