HOW TO RAISE A MOM by Jean Regan is an oversized hardcover picture book illustrated by Lee Wildish. Regan and Wildish are the creators of the New York Times bestseller HOW TO BABYSIT A GRANDPA. In a reversal of roles, Regan takes us through a typical day with children. Instead of Mom waking the kids with kisses, they wake her. The day consists of running earnings, waiting in lines. Helpful tips on how to keep Mom from getting grumpy will make young ones giggle. Cleaning up, dinner with vegetables turned into trees eaten by dinosaurs and more. The pages are packed with illustrations that are colorful and help the story come to life. I imagine readers will discover new things on each time they read. This was a light and funny way to remind children just how wonderful Mom is and the role she plays in their own lives. This would make a great book to gift little reader around Mother's Day.

Eight year old's review: I think it was really good and I loved that the kids were telling you how to raise the mom in the story not the other way around. I laughed through almost the entire book. It was so funny.
Mom Review: This offered lots of fun hugs and laughs with my five year olds as well.
A fun read.

We always say we don’t want to become our mothers. This book, however, shows how awesome that can be.

I love these books. They crack me up and warm my heart

This series is always fun and serves as a reminder not to be patronizing to kids.

Cute!

The outfit they picked out for mom was camp

A fun twist on the mostly sappy offerings on the relationship between moms and kids. This one is a manual for raising a good mom. Fantastic illustrations add to the humor, which the preK and older crowd will appreciate. A fun addition to a mother-themed story time. Definitely recommended!
