This book is hilarious, I'm glad to see updated and real-life reflected in children's books.
I read this to my family and when I got to one part (you'll know which part when you buy it) my wife was covering her face and beat red trying to choke down a laugh.
My middle daughter (6) liked it so much she brought it to school for a group reading.
If you're into technology, or have more than one computer at home you gotta have this book.

I have to be honest, I bought this product as a professional experience for my marketing job. It is really a clever, hilarious and freshing way to present a product. I'm currently not in the situation described in the book, but I know I will be there soon, and I think it would be really usefull.
Although, I think it's a little expensive, I'm really satisfied with my excercise :)

I understand that this is only advertising material for the multi-billion dollar conglomerate that is Microsoft, but still I find it refreshing when a company doesn't take themselves too seriously, and are able to produce tongue-in-cheek advertisements like this. It is an advertisement for Microsoft Home Server, but written as a children's book explaining to the child why Mommy and Daddy would want a server in the home. I bought it for my niece just for the laugh!
