MOM SCHOOL
VAN SLYKE,
Rebecca. illus. by Priscilla Burris. Doubleday. 2015. ISBN 9780385388924..
PreS-Gr 2–A
tribute to all of the things a mom can do. The unnamed girl imagines that her
mother has attended “Mom School,” where she learned how to do a multitude of
tasks around the house, how to play, and of course the uncanny ability to do
several things at once. There is humor in the idea that these skills were
acquired in an institutional setting, and Burris’s funny illustrations rendered
in soft pastel hues capture this silly but charming concept. The story is
appropriately child-centric, though at the end Van Slyke cleverly works in the
fact that the mom is not just a superstar at home but also has a career.
Predictably, she declares that her best job is being a mom. VERDICT An
appealing addition to read at Mother’s Day and throughout the year.–Gloria
