My 6 year old helps make his bed, folds his own clothes, and sometimes he helps me with cooking (especially if it involves kneading). My 3 year old still doesn’t help much so I guess I got some work to do there. I definetely think giving them responsibilities is good for them, though.

Thank you for your review of this book and interview of Ama Flor Ada. I loved her kids poetry book, Mambru.

Bear helps in so many ways. She helps by setting the table, taking her dishes to the sink, helping with her baby brother, and putting her clothes in the hamper. She's still little, so sometimes she won't take her dishes to the sink b/c she doesn't want to, but for the most part she does an awesome job! .-= Julie´s last blog ..We Play - Blocks and Trains =-.

The kids do have their chores, but they love to help mom and dad whenever they can.

My daughter loves to help with everything from unloading the dishwasher to folding laundry. The only thing she is actually really helpful in doing is helping me wash,dry and rip up lettuce for a dinner salad.

My boys are (almost) always happy to help clean up around the house, and the older two are so good at lending a hand with their hermanito.

My boys have always been very helpful around the house. People told me they would grow out of it, but so far I've had good luck. The oldest likes to help his father mow the lawn and the youngest likes to help me fold the laundry, (though admittedly, he spends just as much time burrowing under the laundry as folding it!) BTW - We just got this book from the library last week and my youngest son and I enjoyed reading it. I read the Spanish to him and he read the English to me. .-= Sra. López´s last blog ..Habla =-.

My 4-year-old daughter likes to help with most everything I do like preparing meals – she can measure and stir ingredients, get things out and put them up, washing dishes – I wash, she rinses, laundry – she’s really good at sorting. I wish she would like to help herself do things like pick up her toys from the family room and clean her bedroom.

My little girl likes to help me cook and occasionally fold clothes. My middle boy is great at making his bed and putting stuff away…and the baby is great at messing everything up! Thanks for the chance to win this book!

Looks like a great book! My oldest son's favorite way to help around the house is laundry. Oddly enough, he likes to wash it, dry it, and hang it up. .-= Adriana´s last blog ..Rosas de Abuela =-.

My 5 year old son, Ethan, and I are going to head down to MOLAA to check out their new art program – a bit of a trek for us, but it sounds like a lot of fun.

I’ve provided details below for anyone who might be interested.

Thank you for the chance to win such a great book!
