This is exactly true to life. Highly recommend this book and all of Lynns collections.

The For Better or For Worse book compelation series by Lynn Johnston based on her daily comic strip reflects everyday life that most people can identify with. This book "Just One More Hug" in particular will strike a chord with any person with a young child. Anyone should be able to recognize something in the book from that person own life. Ms Johnston is not afraid to tackle subjects in her strip that cartonist shy away from. But by covering all aspects of everyday life she makes her characters true life. By allowing her characters to age the reader is able to identify with them and the "lives" they lead. All readers can enjoy her books no matter the persons age, gender or position in the family.

I hope that time will remember Lynn Johnston as the great and important voice that she is. For anyone who thinks For Better or For Worse is 'just' a cartoon series, please read it and find that there is much substance to this. I think younger people reading this today may find it interesting how much things have changed (or perhaps haven't) since Lynn wrote this in the early 80's. A great read!
