A young girl's parents are divorced and her Mommy has a date.  The young girl refers to her Mommy's new guy friend as "That Guy". Will the young girl ever learn to like "That Guy".

I enjoyed the evolution of learning to like and accept someone new in Mommy's New Friend.  Palacios’s illustrations were comical and adorable. The characters are illustrated as Black.
