Is Mommy?

(4) PS Illustrated by Marla Frazee. Six cartoonish kids are asked to choose between opposites to describe their mommies. "Is mommy nice... / or mean?" Each kid gleefully picks the negative attribute; in the end, all proclaim to love their "short, ugly, mean, boring, old, messy momm[ies]." Frazee's lively illustrations carry much of the story and help to soften the text, which strives for humor but may confound listeners.
