My Mum
Anthony Browne
Board Book
Ages 2 to 5
Random House (UK), 2008, 978-0-38561-367-5
  A child knows that his mother is "nice" but that is not all, not by a long shot, for the child sees his mother is many roles. There is the woman who juggles all sorts of things, the strong lady who carries bags and bags of groceries, the "fantastic cook," the "magic" gardener. On top of this his mum is like a good fairy, an angel, a butterfly. Not to mention the fact that she is so wonderful, so talented that she could be anything from a ballet dancer to an astronaut, a boss in an office to a movie star. Putting it simply, this boy's mother is a Supermum.
  Best of all though she is his mum who loves him and he, in turn, loves her.
  This funny, warm tribute to all mothers would make a perfect gift for a mother, and best of all it would be a gift that she could share with her child or children. A minimal text and simple, bold, and colourful pictures puts mothers all over the world on the pedestal that they surely deserve to be on.

Action Alert

Reading is Fundamental (RIF) needs your help. The President's proposed fiscal year 2009 budget released in February eliminates the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program, which is the RIF Book Distribution Program. Unless Congress reinstates funding for this program, RIF will be unable to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation's youngest and most at-risk children. RIF serves 4.6 million children.
