Milo doesn't get it: What's the big deal about moms? They're just slave-driving broccoli bullies. Yet they are worshipped the world over! Perhaps even the galaxy over because here come Martians and they're after one thing only: moms. Milo's mom in particular. Who better to drive them to soccer practice and to pizza parties? That's quite a long way to come for a mom could it be that Milo has been overlooking something special?
From Pulitzer Prize-winning comic strip creator of Bloom County and bestselling author Berkeley Breathed comes a funny, poignant book about how the unique love that binds our families can be overlooked in the rush and tumble of everyday lives...especially those of disgruntled little boy's.
Review
"In typical Breathed form, the illustrations are lush, plush, and over-the-top with color, attitude, and craziness....Share this witty and sweet tale with young readers and their moms for a wacky treat." School Library Journal
