In rhyming text, this books talks about the different things that mums do, that all mums are different, but a day with mum is wonderful.

cute illustrations, unmemorable plot. I liked it but I returned it to the library a month ago and don't remember a thing about it.

[Anne · Rating 4 out of 5]

When anthropomorphism is central to a book's success, it sometimes works brilliantly and sometimes it doesn't. In this delightful board book of animal mothers with all too human characteristics, it works both beautifully and delightfully. With less than sixty-five words - a few of them rhyming, Australian author and illustrator Nick Bland has produced a lovely lap book for the very young. His illustrations are both witty and wise and cover a wide notion of what a mother is. This is a gift for both mother and child.

I loved this book. It perfectly captures the different nuances of mums all over the world. It would be a delightful storytime book.

Mom's can be brave, strong, and silly. Mom's are all different, but they almost always have the same thing in common they love their kids.
