Every day the father who had 10 children made them breakfast, helped them get dressed, drove them to school, cooked them dinner, gave them a bath, and put them to bed. Until finally he needed a rest! So he left his brood with Grandma and set off on a 10 day, or maybe 10 month, vacation. But after just 1 peaceful day, it seemed like something was missing . . . something times 10. This bright, charming tale demonstrates that family life is more fun when it's all for 1-and 1 for 10! "A satisfying story." -School Library Journal "The pictures are a riot of bold, warm-n-hot colors, and minimalist backgrounds concentrate attention on the chaotic tableaux and on the father-children relationship." -The Horn Book
