In summary, "Daddy isn't a functioning adult without mommy." This book is horrible.

I need to think about this one. The story tells how mothers and fathers do tasks around the home including caring for a child. However, the mother is always seen as the serious, responsible one. Why should the moms always be the "responsible ones"?

I am concerned some with the message this is communicating.

Reinforces tons of gender norms about parenting and presents mom as the serious, organized one, while dad is the fun, silly parent. Nothing innovative or unexpected here.

It's fun, but I don't know how I feel about the message. Essentially it says: moms do everything just so and dads have all the fun and don't parent their kids. Meh.

I don't know what I expected, but I guess I probably should have expected this...Mommy is the organized, serious, perfect parent while daddy is crazy and disorganized and messy and FUN! Gender stereotypes, teach them from a young age, otherwise how will little girls and little boys know how they're supposed to act?

Won't be using this for a storytime.
