I gave it 2 stars, almost 3, because I GET the humor, and I can appreciate the "irreverent" mom is loved-no-matter-what, etc. message presented in this book. I think some of the language is harsh; words like: "ugly, mean, boring, etc", but those are the real life words & concepts kids tend to be taught to describe mundane discomforts. No? Obviously both moms and kids love each other no matter how they are labeled during their specific mood disturbances, and all is forgiven and love prevails, which seems to be the gist of this one. Maybe it wasn't as clever as it set out to be, but I got it. I would say it's basically okay, maybe the humor is too basic for my taste, but I can see why people are turned off by the language. ( )

This book is about all the different types of moms, but every child in the book loves their mom! This book is perfect for teaching diversity and it will connect to their emotions because every child loves their mom! Ages: 2-5. Source: Pierce County Library System

I love this heart-felt book which asks toddlers questions about their mommies. Even though some of their answers may be negative ones, at the end of the story they share that they love their mommies anyways. This book would be great to use for a lesson over opposites as well! It says, "is mommy short or tall? fun or boring?" and it follows this same format throughout the book. ( )
