The Irresistible Henry House by Lisa Grunwald

This was the first book of 2011 for me.  The book's origins come from a photograph the author found.  She discovered the photo of a naked baby and found that the child in the picture was a "practice baby" for a home economics program.  She wondered what ever became of that baby and the result of her musings is The Irresistible Henry House.  It's the story of one practice baby among many but this one was special because the teacher kept him.  What kind of grown up would you be if you had eight moms who took turns taking care of you and if you saw other babies come and go while you stayed behind?  What kind of attachments would you form? if any?  I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  It was a quick, fun read and appealed to the Psychology Major in me.  I recommend it.
