Tender Story about Belonging in a Family
A great read-aloud for grades pre-K through 2, this is a wonderful story of a boy just trying to establish a relationship with his rough and ready step-dad.Bonus sub-plot of mom pregnant with the step-dad's twins. Heart-warming ending.

Great story for all kids, but step-parent thememakes this of special interest to families involving a second marriage,step-siblings, or step-parent.

Wonderful illustrations, too.

From the author: In 2005 and 2006 the National Library of Australia (NLA) carried out two whole-domain web harvests which complement the selective web archiving approach taken by PANDORA. Web harvests of this size pose significant challenges to their use. Despite these challenges, such harvests present fascinating research opportunities. The NLA has provided Charles Sturt University's POA (Preservation for Ongoing Accessibility) research group with access to these web harvests and associated keyword indexes. This paper describes the 2006 harvest and uses the example of blogs to address how to identify material within the harvest and determine issues that need further investigation.
