This book is a well written story about a little boy dealing with his parents divorce. It talks about how on Monday, Wednesday and every other weekend he and his dog live at his moms house. On the other days of the week, he spends his time at his dads. This book is a great resource for a child who might be experiencing a divorce or whose parents have recently gone through a divorce. This also might be a good book for the children whose parents were never married so they also experience the feeling of bouncing from house to house.

Another thing I really enjoyed about the book other than the plat were the ways the pictures were done. Aside from painting, it seems as though Stanton used collages and she also used snippets of newspaper print! The pictures were done very well.

I would give this book a 5 out of 5 because the pictures complement the text very well, and the plot is also something that can be helpful to children. This is a great book to have in a teacher library and for teachers to be aware of, especially if a student is going through a similar situation.
