We first meet Mom over a cup of coffee, clad in a floral robe. The robe is ever present as her child describes her wondrous abilities and traits. The ultimate message that shines forth is: “I love my mom. And you know what? SHE LOVES ME! (And she always will.)”

“With simplicity, strength, and complete understanding of children's perceptions, Browne uses the voice of an unseen child to praise one mother – and, by extension, all moms.” – Booklist

“The sentiment is so pure that this tale will be a beloved addition to a family's repertoire of stories to treasure.” – Kirkus Reviews

The boy in this book has a big brother who is good at everything. He's a wild rock singer and a terrific climber. He's read hundreds of books, he writes brilliant stories, and he's brave enough to stand up to bullies. To his adoring younger brother, this big brother is a hero. More than that – he is really cool. He can even whistle!
 
With bright and funny illustrations that will endear these siblings to readers, this is a fantastic follow-up to Anthony Browne's popular My Dad and My Mom.

 

From the 2000 Hans Christian Andersen Medalist

In an endearing homage to dads everywhere, a boy describes -- and exaggerates -- the many accomplishments and feats of his father. Among the traits praised are his enormous talent for singing, his near-professional wrestling skills, his extreme bravery in the face of danger (he's not even afraid of the Big Bad Wolf!), and his ability to -- quite literally, in Anthony Browne's world -- eat like a horse. All of the pictures feature the lovable pater in his signature plaid bathrobe, adding a further comfy layer to a book whose ultimate message is 'I love my dad. And you know what? HE LOVES ME! (And he always will.)'.
