HOW TO RAISE A MOM by Jean Regan is an oversized hardcover picture book illustrated by Lee Wildish. Regan and Wildish are the creators of the New York Times bestseller HOW TO BABYSIT A GRANDPA. In a reversal of roles, Regan takes us through a typical day with children. Instead of Mom waking the kids with kisses, they wake her. The day consists of running earnings, waiting in lines. Helpful tips on how to keep Mom from getting grumpy will make young ones giggle. Cleaning up, dinner with vegetables turned into trees eaten by dinosaurs and more. The pages are packed with illustrations that are colorful and help the story come to life. I imagine readers will discover new things on each time they read. This was a light and funny way to remind children just how wonderful Mom is and the role she plays in their own lives. This would make a great book to gift little reader around Mother's Day.
