The Terrible Thing that Happened at Our House (author: Marge Blaine, illustrator: John C. Wallner) is the story of what happens to a "normal" family when mom decides to go back to work. Ok, so they are privileged kids who had a stay-at-home mom, but most kids these days can relate to the situation. Suddenly both parents are very busy, game night is no more, and now the kids must eat in the dreaded lunchroom! With great illustrations and funny lines, this story provides insight into working out problems with your family, talking and connecting. Even with a copyright date of 1975, its is a timeless tale and I encourage you to find a copy!
