Synopsis
The trouble with Mom is that she just isn't like other moms. Her hats are decorated with snakes and mice, and she flies her son to school on a broomstick. No wonder she doesn't get along with the other parents. Will Mom's special talents ever come in handy?
"Well-meaning lovable Mom is a witch, and just can't help turning people into toads and doing other embarrassing things.... A truly funny idea carried out in delightfully inventive pictures". -- The New Yorker
"Cole's caper could tease laughs from any grump, grownup or child". -- Publishers Weekly
"The idea is novel, and the story exhibits a cheerfully deadpan text, believable from the boy's point of view. The illustrations fill the page with humor and originality". -- School Library Journal
