You can never tell
your mother enough how much you love her. That’s the message
of this delightful picture book that would make an ideal gift for
any mom on Mother’s Day.
The toddler in this
picture book lists some of the reasons why he loves his mommy. Some
of the reasons are rather conventional. He likes to cuddle with
his mom. He likes it when she tickles him, wipes away tears, and
takes him shopping.
But there are some rather
unusual reasons for the child’s affection as well. “I
like to watch her brush her hair, and dance around in her underwear!”
he tells us. He also shares that, “she’s really very
kind to me, and she even helps me learn to pee!’
