I received a copy of When Mommy loves Bama and Daddy Loves Auburn through the First Reads giveaway. Happily it arrived in my mailbox less than a week later.
The story is told by a young brother and sister who love living in a divided house. They get two teams to cheer for, two sets of team colors to wear, etc. The only day of the year they dread is the Iron Bowl. On that day, when Auburn and Alabama face each other, the kids don't get to watch with their parents, eating just the right snacks and wearing the team colors. In the story, the kids remember several different neighbors they've been sent to stay with on this dark day. My favorite was the priest. When the kids told him they'd once cheered "War Tide!" by mistake he tried to tell them what a blashphemy was.
The illustrations were colorful and cute too. I loved how even the mailbox was painted half in Alabama colors and half in Auburn colors.
Definately a cute, recommended read.

This is a very cute book about a household divided:) The parents root for different college teams. The author narrates the activities of the day leading up to the games. This was a cute and fun read.
