Customer Reviews

A comfortable book to read again and again.

The illustrations are wonderful...I love how the artist carries the fabric through. The words are kind and heart warming. I had borrowed this from the library and decided I needed my own copy to share with my grandson.

My Mom

Adorable book - I love it! My kindergarten students recited this at a Mother's Day Program. It was precious! I just bought My Dad. It is just as good!

Excellent book

My grandson loves to have this book read to him. It is easy for a young child to relate to the pictures and simple words.

A WARM, FUNNY TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS

Sure to be a family favorite artist/author Anthony Browne pays a tribute to all Moms just as he did to fathers with "My Dad." Once again he provides whimsical illustrations accompanied by a funny, loving text. We first meet Mom with the simple line, ""She's nice, my mom." Next, we're reminded of how well she can cook and juggle a myriad of tasks - housekeeping, shopping, carpooling, the list never ends. Of course, Mom is so wonderful that she can do everything - she has a green thumb and makes flowers grow, she can cheer others up, sing like an angel (and, when the necessity arises she can "roar like a lion). Truth is, if she weren't so busy being a Mom she could be a dancer or even an astronaut. Of course, her most important job is simply being a Mom. And the most important lesson that youngsters will learn is that she loves them and she always will. - Gail Cooke
