THis is a very hilarious and entertaining book. The mother is very creative in her poems for the contest entries as well as being a great mom. This story takes place in the 50's and is a wonderful snapshot of that era, as well as giving us a peek into the family life of a 12 member family. A wonderful read!

NOTE: This same isbn is not large-print. PBS says they cannot edit the book data to reflect that fact, since some copies might be large print.
