This review is from: Martha's New Daddy (Hardcover)

I knew that Danielle Steele was vary successful as an author of romance novels for adults, so I was intrigued when I discovered that she had written a series of children's books. "Martha's New Daddy," with illustrations by Jacqueline Rogers, is one in that series.

Martha is a 5-year old whose parents are divorced. She lives with her mother, but spends time with her father. As the story unfolds, Martha's mom announces her plans to remarry a man who is not Martha's dad.

Simple text and bright, colorful illustrations enhance the book. Steele does a good job of dealing with a situation that I imagine many children face today.
