great book for military families (esp Navy)
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
My young children enjoyed this book, we read it a lot while their dad was deployed on a ship. The only problem is that the dad is a pilot, so the book shows a lot of things that non-pilot families won't see or deal with. I ad-libbed on those pages, and the kids really liked the book.
mother's view
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
As a mother of a Prowler pilot, I read this book with many tears. I bought it so my son could write a little note in it for his children to read when he is gone. I could tell it was written by someone who was there and could help younger children deal with the separation of their parent.
gentle story of the family of military left behind--
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
this is a sweet but realistic, gentle story of the child left home-fears, anger at loss of parent, puzzlement, and is handled with good story content and wisdom. I was pleased to give it to my grandson, who sometimes says his Daddy-out at sea- is "sick".
