PreSchool-K—DePaola offers a portrait of a little boy and his doting mother, who bakes cookies, sews Halloween costumes, and can even stand on her head. Each page offers one of her skills, with soft, acrylic paintings illustrating the full range of her abilities. This story acts as more of a nostalgic picture album of dePaola's childhood than as a fully developed story, but the simple sweetness of the vignettes both in text and illustration present a heartfelt tribute to one fabulous woman. While the story is an endearing celebration of one specific parent, it's unlikely to resonate with many of today's children.
A Book that is a must read for a mother and child together! It is the perfect celebration of everything a mother is good at and just knows! The perfect read alound to young children when talking about mothers or even for the special holiday of Mothers Day! A definite addition to a new mothers library or a perfect gift for mothers day!
