After World War II, American city dwellers started moving out to suburbia. Erma and Bill Bombeck joined the station wagon train, packed up their three children, and moved out of the city. They now own their own home, the PeeWee model, on their own plot of grass, with a one-car garage. Let the games begin!

Erma Bombeck takes everyday American family in the 1960's and 1970's and adds her charm and humor. She had the eye for the every day issues, making us face them, and laughing at ourselves. This novel is a gem - whether she is looking at volunteerism, getting a dog, taking a vacation, or caring for a lawn. The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank is a short book that will make you laugh.
