When Daniel ends up having to be a nude model AND Madame Doubtfire at the same time in his own house, he gets found out.....

I haven't seen the film, so can't compare the book with Mrs Doubtfire, but I thought the book was so good I kept reading ahead when we read it at school. It was very cleverly put together, although it might be hard for younger children to understand; sometimes there's too much going on at once. For older children (and adults) who can understand the complicated plot, it's an excellent read.

I did not like this book I prefer the movie because of its hilarious jokes, I like more adventures storys such as Lord of the rings, Harry

Madame Doutfire was the inspiration behind the film Mrs. Doubtfire, starring Robin Williams. However, the novel takes the story to a far deeper level that the film could. It maintains a different slant and, although it is arguably less humerous than the film,it provides a deep insight into the personalities of the characters as their lives are turned topsy-turvy by a divorce. The father's desperation to see his children remains the driving force behind his extreme tactics and the love that surrounds the family is contained throughout. A cleverly structured novel which deals with family issues in a sensitive and clever. The film concentrated too much on the cross-dressing hilarity to focus on the heart of the problems. Read this and discover it!
