Review
A little girl imagines what her mother learned at Mom school: Baiting hooks, baking cupcakes, pitching slowball and the like. All these things made Mom the best Mom ever. The illustrations portray Moms of different ethnicities and the pictures complement the text quite well. The moms all graduate with pink hats and gowns. The fact that Mom's most important job is being a Mom is stressed, though she also has an outside job she goes to every day and is apparently able to juggle all her tasks well. This is a moderately good book, but nothing especially grand.
Overall Book Score: good
