Reviews

"Each spread is a perfectly conceived whole, each picture demanding endless scrutiny ... Original, unexpected, funny and typically Browne" -- Julia Eccleshare Guardian "The pictures are a delight, an easy function 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 "It is full of caprice and oddity and wit" -- Kate Kellaway Observer "This book will find ready readers in Browne's many fans who will enjoy inter-textual fun in recognition of his trademark images" Inis "A joy of a book, a celebration of mum's everywhere" Carousel
