“ My Mama is a two-level story through the eyes of the baby elephant, who has a very wise and good mother.” Julia Marshall, Publisher
Short description/annotation A cheeky baby elephant describes his mother while we follow another story in the illustrations—familiar and funny for both parents and childrenI’ve known my mama for such a long time. For my whole life, actually. My mama loves playing with me and my cars. I like that, as long as mama tidies up the cars afterwards. I’m good at hiding. No one can find me, not even my mama ... and then suddenly I shout, “PEEKABOO!” My mama’s scared to death! I laugh and laugh. At night, my mama shakes the stars off my pants. I give her a big hug and say. “Goodnight stars, see you tomorrow!” A cheeky elephant tells all about his mother in this lovingly drawn story. Both parents and children will delight in and recognize this gorgeous mother–child relationship—if not for the same reasons.
"Told from the baby's point of view. . .this playful offering explores, through two elephant characters, the strong emotional bond between parent and child."—The Horn Book Magazine
"A playful young elephant wearing star-covered trousers reflects on his beloved mother in this meandering tribute."—Publishers Weekly
"Translated from Dutch, this title would be an easy contender for a storytime read-aloud on mother-son relationships."—School Library Journal
