Truthfully, the image of all those overflowing numbers is an excellent visual idea for a nonfiction book on numbers -- it really is. I can see JC easily selling the concept to a publisher -- he just needs the story. :) Now, I really don't want to get scolded for going off topic, so I won't say anymore on the subject, but truthfully -- a work at home dad with kids underfoot is an extremely sellable idea. That's the take away value -- allowing kids to see how families interact in different ways -- how parents fulfill obligations differently -- all very "in" -- but you have to hide it all in a story that will make the kids laugh without realizing that they just learned something -- take away value wouldn't have to be about learning numbers, but a social concept -- father who works at home -- more common these days. Susan H. John; this is the time you call in Susan. A perfect book for all those with computer jobs, working at home with kids... Jim
