Summary

She's nice, my mum . . .

My mum's a fantastic cook, and a brilliant juggler.

She's a great painter, and the strongest woman in the world!

She's really nice, my mum.

A warm, funny tribute to Mum (and to mums everywhere) by the brilliant author/illustrator Anthony Browne.

Reviews

  • Each spread is a perfectly conceived whole, each picture demanding endless scrutiny . . . Original, unexpected, funny and typically Browne
