I was hoping this would be more like different ways to help around the house. In a way it was. It talked about helping mom with "x" and helping dad with "x" and then listed different members of a family. I felt like it discussed more members of a help as opposed to "ways to help around the house". My mind set was... Help pick up toys, help put away dishes, help take out the trash, etc. More daily chores/tasks that get accomplished instead of what the book actually ended up being.
