Picture Perfect

A most enjoyable read. The characters come to life and speak to all ages. The book had me smiling all the way. The message is simple and true.

We would give it 10 stars if we could!!!

This is easily one of our all-time favorite audio books! The story is delightful. Dale Cramer's sense of humor is the best. Somehow he manages to show the differences in a woman's opinion vs. a man's ... without making it look like husband bashing! Ed Sala's narration couldn't have been better. He is perfect for this story. We wish there was a sequel! We highly recommend this book and will definitely listen to it again.

Thoroughly enjoyable

This story reaches out to you on so many levels. It has so many stories within the story. It makes me laugh so much at the little daily things of life. And really provokes thought on a much deeper level on our humanity. So well written and perfect narration. One of my favorite stories!

Maryland listener

I truly enjoyed this book and had a good laugh too! I am glad that Mick was able to connect with his son and all the adventures he had with his 3 children whiles staying at home with them. Good read!

Humor, love, faith, encouragement!

A man wrote, a man narrated. It’s a charmingly male driven story about the hilarious adaptations and mishaps encountered by a stay at home dad. Full of lessons of faith hope and love. I chuckled and laughed a lot.
