- delightful book, worth owning
This is a delightful, enjoyable book for any young child. I enjoy reading it to my two girls, ages 9 and 5. It is especially valuable for anyone with an unusual family configuration of any sort. Else-Marie has seven little daddies (they are identical, much smaller than Else-Marie, and very straight-laced, 1950s, brief-case carrying, suit-wearing dads!).

At first I couldn't quite wrap my head around the cover, the title, and the concept. Then, as I flipped through and found it full of early 1990s Swedish day-to-day life (albeit with THE most Freudian conceit ever to grace a picture book's pages) I found myself reading it again and again and again.
