Miranda's three children thoroughly enjoy their huge, overdressed baby sitter/cleaning woman who is actually their father in disguise, and they dread the day when their mother discovers Madame Doubtfire is really her ex-husband.
The novel is about a man, who wants to live with his children after his divorce. Daniel Hilliard can only see them on Friday and only for a short time. The reason for the divorce lies in his naive and sloppy style. He isn’t able to be serious and to help with the housework. Furthermore Daniel doesn’t have a job. So it was getting impossible for her to live with him. One day, the children tell him that their mother Miranda is looking for a housewife. Daniel wants to be the housewife, but his ex-wife is against that. So he becomes an old woman, who is strict. He names himself Madame Doubtfire and he really gets the job. He has a lot of problems with cooking and other things, which are described very funnily in the book. However he’s strict and so Mrs. Hilliard is satisfied with him. During his time as a woman, he even gets a job in a TV-programme. But then the children notice that he is their father and soon their mother knows it too. The writer wants to say that you should enjoy every moment with your children. Furthermore he shows that children need their father and their mother. Otherwise they will be unhappy and can’t learn anything from them. I like the book, because the story is fine and thrilling. I especially like Daniel’s alternative methods of caring for his children. For example he wants to cook a beef and because he doesn’t pay attention his clothes are soon burning. After reading the book I felt happy, because it has a happy ending. ( )
It's war in the Hilliard household and Lydia, Christofer and Natalie find themselves stuck right in the middle. But all that changes when their mother takes on a most unusual cleaning lady... ( )
I have watched the movie about this story. This story is about one familiy.There are mother,Miranda,father,Daniel,and three childen,Lydia,Christpher,and Natalie.Miranda and Daniel divorced and Miranda doesn't wants him to see her(their)children. But Daniel wants to see his children,so he manage to see them. This story is very interesting,but the movie is more interesting than book,i think. ( )

In your case, I think not.
Afternoon snacks have few civil liberties.
But I'm not wholly without heart.
How about a nice soothing cigarette?
Oh, I will not do this. I cannot!
Oh, what a foul way for a bird to die!

Here we go again. Cut, cut, cut! Roll it back.
