Little Family, Big Values: Lessons in Love, Respect, and Understanding for Families of Any Size

really enjoyed this book love the show and the roloffs only complaint was it didnt last longer recommend

I purchased this book after seeing the series on TLC. I found the book matched what the Roloff's state in there series, they are very much a warm, loving, caring family & the parnets make sure the kids know whos in charge no matter what size the kid or parnet is!! They kids know the value to family, love, respect & know there is challages in life & this is great expo for the 'normal' size kids for the furture.

I was a little disappointed with this book as I have seen the series, which I thoroughly enjoy. It is just setting out how they bring up their children and their beliefs, which isn't a bad thing, but you see this in the programmes.

Matt Roloff has told a story of truth,and some hard facts of being a little person. If you didn't already know that he was a little person then you'd never pick it up from his day-to-day stories;not counting the health stories of his life. Amy has a heart of pure gold,with lots of love and persistance and patience...not just with Matt,but with her life and kids in general.The two of them,along with help from the grandparents have done an absolute fantastic job of raising the kids,and keeping it real for them,along with keeping their feet on the ground. Those children have a absolute feeling as to how their parents ARE different,but 'so what',as to quote Tyra Banks. I tip my cap to the Roloff's as to the absolute best job they have done in raising their family and staying sane in the process...which is all that any of ALL of us with children want.

Great book.I really like watching the TV series because of the family dynamics laced with humor, laughter and a occasionally a little sadness.It's one of very few reality shows that I watch, and this book pretty much gave me the same enjoyable ride as the series do.It's a collection of stories with a clear "main theme/value" running through them.Written as a `gentle push in the right direction', as a `this works really good for us, and it might work for you too so here are some suggestions'. Not at all as a `these are the rules, now go follow them'.And not from one point of view, but from several family members/relatives points of view, which is interesting and fun to read. Throughout the book you get the feeling that there always is room for questioning/different views, yet it's clearly explained why they do things a certain way.Nothing is shoved down your throat, not even religion (which as an atheist reader was such a big plus, almost relief, because mutual respect is just so much better than looking down on someone because they don't share the same beliefs).So, get a cup of tea, lean back and enjoy.
