(4) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Cornell. From "a brief historical overview" to malfunction trouble-shooting, this guide offers tips, rules, and advice for the care and maintenance of a mom. Readers may get a kick out of the text, which equates mothers with pets or household appliances, but the whole thing likely holds more appeal for adults in the know. Pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations evoke the rigors of motherhood.
