I am a teacher at a primary school. When I saw 'Madame Doubtfire' on the school's book list, I gave it a read. At first, I was actually a bit worried that my students were too young to understand the given material but I was able to uncover the corresponding tapes. I recommend that younger children (around ages 8-12) read the book with help of the tapes. All scenes serve their intended purpose- the actors' interpretations are great! In particular, the scenes between the parents Daniel and Miranda are excellent. My students thoroughly benefitted from this supplementary matieral. It is a funny book, and deals with relevant issues.

The book Madame Doubtfire shows softly a tragedy,which are quite often in families.

Daniel is a father,who loves his children. But there's his nasty wife,called Miranda or "Stonewoman". She trys to destroy his weekends with the children,what ends in argues,which the children must endure.
I think,it's a good story,what teaches,how to retain in this situation,too.
