Reviews

Armstrong-Ellis fills the page with slime and sludge, and careful readers will even spy monster-themed parodies of works from da Vinci, Cassatt, George Rodrigue, and other artists. * Publishers Weekly *
This is an unconventional book about mothers and love that kids, especially boys, will cherish. Written in a narrative poetry style with colorful glossy pictures, this book offers many examples of couplets. Short passages, filled with gross humor on each page, make it an attention-grabber for early readers; rich vocabulary makes it a super silly read-aloud for older students. * School Library Connection *
