Content: G; Violence: G.
A little girl
who loves Kindergarten gets a surprise one day when her mom decides to stay for
class. Instead of helping out the teacher or sitting around, like most
grown-ups do, her mom acts just like a kid. A bad kid. She breaks all the
rules, makes messes, and even talks during story time in the library. What can
a girl do with a mom who doesn't follow the rules?
At first I was
worried, I sort of dislike starting or continuing the notion that parents are embarrassing,
especially in regards to younger students who mostly still hero worship their
parents. But this book was a sneaky surprise and functions as a neat perspective
change on the effect of breaking rules! The artwork is adorable and fun to look
at, with harmonious colors and an interesting use of layout and text.
