When Mommy says she has to go on a business trip to Bangkok, her son, Corey balks. "She can't go," he says to his dad. When his father replies "Why not?" the boy finds a multitude of reasons from "Who will make my lunch"? to "Who will fix my bear?" to "Who will scrub my back?" to "Who will give me a hug?" Each time Dad shows him that father and son can handle whatever comes up together, and he explains that Corey will have extra special mommy-hugs the moment mother comes home.

For children under eight, this humourous approach to traditional mother work and children's feelings of fear is sun-filled and full of fun.
