Thank you for this detailed and enthusiastic review! I share your admiration for the way Aimee Andren skillfully explores the balance between children’s independence and parental wisdom. The story, with its poetic style and catchy rhymes, perfectly captures young readers’ attention while conveying essential lessons about trust in parents. I especially appreciate your comment on the simplicity of the vocabulary, making the book accessible to children aged 6 to 9, despite the introduction of words like “puddle.” Your suggestion to correct the inconsistency of using “Peter” instead of “Pete” is relevant and shows great attention to detail. This book seems to be a valuable tool for countering the sometimes harmful influence of peers and social media, while also strengthening family bonds. Your five-star rating is well deserved!

"Mom & Dad Are Always Right: The Misadventures of Pete & June" by Aimee Andren is a perfect gift for any child, as it beautifully illustrates the benefits of obeying parents. The characters of Pete and June are not just fictional, but they mirror the everyday struggles and triumphs of real children. Not all parents are perfect, but those who strive to do their best usually have their children's best interests at heart. This book will resonate with a broad audience, and Pete and June's lessons will inspire positive behaviour in others. Thanks for a great review.

Well this sounds like ap perfect gift for children. To teach them to rather trust their parents instead of anyone or anything else is very good and needed in today's life. Children overall is not really safe these days and they need to know they have their parents in their corner for if need be, but also to trust the parent when they say 'no' to anything. Thanks for a detailed review. Congrats on BOTD.

Mom & Dad Are Always Right by Aimee Andren will help parents learn and connect well with their kids. However, I don't believe this book will be a good fit for me, so I'll skip it.

Reading Mom & Dad Are Always Right by Aimee Andren really took me back to the tricky balance between wanting independence and realizing how much wisdom our parents actually carry. I especially connected with Emma—her frustrations, her eye rolls, and eventually her quiet understanding felt so real to me. And her parents, especially her mom, reminded me so much of my own—always firm but with that quiet, unwavering love underneath. This book made me laugh, reflect, and even tear up a little. It’s one of those stories that gently nudges you to call home more often.

I'm sure that 6-9-year-old kids would understand that mom and dad keep them safe after reading this book. Kids at that age are still developing, so directives, while authoritative at first glance, are actually helpful.

"Mom & Dad Are Always Right" by Aimee.Andren@gmail.com book is for kids read, where the lessons are thought through situations. Sometimes kids not able to take lessons, discipline routines from parents and think they aren't right but situations make them to realize parents worth and their rightness.

Kids always want to have their own way, but parents have to guide them and discipline them for their own good. I like the fact that this book teaches children to obey their parents by using fun, rhyming poems. I also like the black-and-white sketches that are included throughout the book.

Congratulations on your detailed review and having this book chosen as the Book of the Day!

You read this review and remember how much trouble you were for your own parents -- it is almost nostalgia. On a more serious note, I can only agree that the importance of "children's well-being and parent-child relationships" is prevalent and influences the entire future. It is a thin line of freedom that should teach a child self-confidence without spoiling, and I can only thank the author for the gift of this helpful book. Congratulations on BOTD!

"Mom & Dad Are Always Right: The Misadventures of Pete & June" by Aimee.Andren@gmail.com is a story about Pete and June and their relationship with their parents. Pete and Julie have been battling for autonomy for quite some time and one has to wonder if they will ever realize that Mom and Dad are amazing and only desire the best things in life for them. This book includes invaluable lessons and this could be a wonderful gift for children. Children need to be protected but they also need to know about the dangers in the real world. So, exposing children to books that teach them to trust their parents is a great idea as long as the book shows an understanding of what children are faced with every day from influencers at school and predators in society. While age 6 to 9 is young to be so focused on autonomy since they were in first to fourth grade. The quest for autonomy occurs in middle school based on my experience of raising two daughters. Amiee Andren used five examples to teach children the need to trust their parent’s directives, decisions and suggestions. I questioned my father’s directives or demands many times when I was a child right through high school. When I went away to college and took child psychology my rebellious days were over and I realized that my parents did know what they were talking about and I appreciated everything they did for me. It took me that long to become friends with my dad and we stayed close for the next 70 years until he passed at age 88. My parents were sound counsel for me and I could always count on them to provide advice when I was an adult. They were there for me when I divorced and they kept me sane while I grieved. I believe parents should help their children as much as possible but they cannot prevent a divorce from a woman they told me not marry. Fortunately, I had an amicable divorce and I was awarded joint custody and spent more than 50% of my time with my two daughters until they turned 21 Both of my daughters have been married for more than 25 years and they have given me six grandchildren and three great grandchildren. I am a lucky man to have been able to spend so much time with my daughters. In retrospect I wish I had experienced a close relationship with my dad when I was a child. Being the only boy with four sisters I could have used his guidance and I would have appreciated the advice he could have given me via conversation instead of living with his demands. I learned later that he always meant well and dad learned his parenting skills from his father who had been a Chicago Police Officer. Being the father of three sons I can understand why my grandfather was very strict. I did not raise my daughters this way. There were no spankings or heated arguments, just calm discussions and then punishment if needed was grounding but not for weeks at a time. I am happy to say my daughters raised their children the same way. I also found the love of my life 23 years ago and we are very happily married. The sample was less than expected but the poem was good. I plan to read the rest of this book and I will share the book with my five grandsons.

Kids need proper guidance now more than ever, especially in this age of many negative influences. Thank you for the review.

Aimee.Andren@gmail.com's "Mom & Dad Are Always Right" gently navigates the familiar childhood struggle for independence through Pete and June's relatable journey of learning to appreciate their parents' wisdom and loving guidance in a world of conflicting influences.

Most (if not all kids) have this experience. I know I did argue with my parents about what was best for me, including the choice of secondary school to go to. Well, most often than not, the kids realize that their parents mean well for them. Pete and June will, too.
