Review
“Each spread is a perfectly conceived whole, each picture demanding endless scrutiny ... Original, unexpected, funny and typically Browne” — Julia Eccleshare Guardian 20050129 “The pictures are a delight, an easy fusion of the ordinary with the surreal, painted with clear-eyed detail. Very witty, very true. Small children will love Mum, and so will parents” — Sally Williams Independent 20050401 “It is full of caprice and oddity and wit” — Kate Kellaway Observer 20050327 “A minimal text and simple, bold, and colourful pictures puts mothers all over the world on the pedestal that they surely deserve to be on” Through the Looking Glass 20080601 “A joy of a book, a celebration of mums everywhere” Carousel 20050701
