My Great Big Mamma

(3) K-3 Translated by Helen Mixter. Illustrated by Luc Melanson. The narrator of this heartwarming book thinks his "great big mama" is just the right size. When she decides to go on a diet, he does too, "to show her how stupid it is." Digital illustrations show an exaggeratedly large, rounded mother in a red-orange dress. The pictures radiate the love, comfort, and security the boy feels in Mamma's presence.
