Why I Love My Mom

18 pp. | Little Bee | March, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4998-0020-3 $9.99
(4) PS Illustrated by Serena Geddes. These books depict lovable but inept parents from a child's perspective. "My mom can't bake a cake, / but she can build a fort." The illustrations show repeated scenes of incompetence resulting in cartoonish mishaps. There is seemingly an attempt to avoid gender stereotypes, but the books still feel old-fashioned. Several appended pages have spaces for photos/drawings and prompts for personalization. Review covers the following titles: Why I Love My Dad and Why I Love My Mom.
