The Pocket Mommy

32 pp. | Tundra | August, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-77049-300-1 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tom Goldsmith. One morning at kindergarten, Samuel tells his mom that he wishes she were tiny so that "I could keep you in my pocket all day." Careful what you wish for...The excellent premise is decently executed, sending a message to kids (you can do it!) as well as to parents (back off!), but the stiff illustrations diminish the project.
