When Mommy Was Mad

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Petra Mathers. Illustrated in the appealing stick-figure-and-crayon mode distinguishing Jonell and Mathers's previous collaborations, this observant family story follows Mommy's crummy mood as it passes along to one of her two sons. Only when Robbie declares himself a prickly "borkupine" does Mommy realize how her unexplained irritation has been worrying and rubbing off on those around her.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
