My Mum
by Anthony Browne
All small children love their mums and in this colourful and entertaining picture book, Anthony Browne explains exactly why. Mums are really strong (from carrying all that shopping), have limitless potential (to be film stars, astronauts etc), can work amazing magic (making you happy when you're sad), not to mention the fact that they're fantastic jugglers and fabulous cooks. But most importantly, Mums are really nice, they make you laugh and they love you. Stunningly illustrated in typical Anthony Browne style, this is a book to be shared and returned to again and again by boys, girls, Dads and, of course, Mums!
