'A Wonderful Opportunity'

Pratt's essays capture the quiet moments a parent experiences amongst all the surrounding turmoil. For many of us ten minutes is a luxury we rarely afford ourselves. To find those times, hold them dear and take a moment to read Robin's book would be a wonderful opportunity.

'A Must Read'

If it were only about the journey, the collection would be a must read, but Ms. Pratt's prose and insight make the trip beautiful and memorable. Take Ten is essential for any reader who is a parent or has one. Pratt's stories and observations are indeed ‘maps to places of comfort and imagination.

If you have not had the pleasure of spending time with [Robin] and her three boys (husband and two sons) through her elegant, charming and poignant stories, you are in for a treat."

'Every Mother Needs It'

Loved your book! [Take Ten] It brings back memories of being the mother of young children. To get ten uninterrupted minutes alone was much desired. A friend of mine who also had young children would take refuge in the bathroom. However, it never did work very well, because the children would stand snuffling at the door. Thanks for writing this book. Every mother needs it...
