Would I Trade My Parents? by Laura Numeroff

Even though his parents don't let him stay up late or drink chocolate milk, a boy decides he wouldn't trade them. They're perfect for him.

What I thought: Not at all what I thought it would be about, but I loved it. A sweet and humorous story. The illustrations are great--realistic and colorful.
