SLA Junior Seminar 5: Madame Doubtfire

WANTED: CLEANER WHO CAN ALSO LOOK AFTER CHILDREN. Miranda got only four telephone calls in answer to her advertisement. 


     The cover of this book is obviously a 'woman' who held dusters. But guess what, 'she' is played by one father. All he wants to do is to be near his children. 

     In this story. there are three children whose parents get divorced. Their father moves out so they live with their mother. Daniel, the three children's father has visitation right on Saturdays until he gets a job. Obviously, this is not enough for Daniel, he wants more time with his children. By a chance, he knows his ex-wife,Miranda wants a housekeeper. He misses his children so much so he makes himself up and puts on the dress just like a middle-aged British nanny. He starts leaning to clean, cook, and so on. What do you think his family will recognize him finally?
