5.0 out of 5 stars Things Are Looking Up, July 9, 2000

By	Phil Hatfield (Juneau, AK USA) - See all my reviews

This book covers the humorous growing pains of the baby April and the oh-so-true lives of the older children, Lizzy and Michael. I laughed at the thought of taking care of the new baby, felt the internal angst at Michael getting a summer job and his drivers license, and felt right at home as Elly fussed over the new car and the pictures during the holidays (just like my mom).

This book certainly pulls you through a range of emotions, from happiness and outright laughter, to the sense of sadness over the life events that the members of the family endure. Somewhere in this book is an event that all of us have experienced, and whether you are young or old, you will enjoy this book.

Overall, this book continues the fine line of humor for the family that you grow to love!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great book ..., March 30, 2007

By	James E. Michaud (Vernon, CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Another Great book to visit the Patterson's with. "For Better / For Worse" has to be one of the best comic strips of all time. It really makes you think, "They are just like my family", and if you do not have kids, read the books so you know what to prepare for.
