Book Review- Picture Book

A book for Parents to read with their kids. "Mommy Works, Daddy Works," by Marika Pedersen and Mikele Hall. Pictures by Deirdre Betteridge. Whether you work at home, you’re a full time caretaker, or you work at an office this book has you covered. It talks about different jobs parents have. Like a mantra on each page it always repeats that there's always time for me (the child). Meaning no matter what they are doing the parent makes times for their child. I like the positive message in the repetition but I'm not so keen on the style of the pictures. They aren't attractive or clever. Or even interesting (at least to me). In fact they are rather flat. Which makes a nice book like this just okay.
