Book Cover & Preview Text
For the longest time, it was just me and my dad. He worked hard all day and made me dinner each night. Sometimes, we even went out for dinner! Then along came Inez. She brought color and happiness to our world! But…. She couldn’t cook. She burned my pizza, made my potato tots too crispy, and turned my dino-nuggies into artifacts from an Egyptian dig. I know she tried, but dinner was always a disaster! One night, Dad made a super special dinner, got down on one knee, and asked Inez to be his wife. I was so excited to have her as my new mom…except the “making dinner” part, of course.
