Working Moms

“This gigglesome picture book about a `working mom’ who’s a witch fairly bursts with luminous illustrations, riotous counterparts to the deadpan text,” noted PW. Ages 3-8.

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3 and up: any cartoon drawings tell the real story of this working mom who experiments in her lab, flies off to meetings, and makes weird dinners. For this woman is a witch, an occupation that has its up side when it comes to giving out-of-this world birthday parties and doing her thing during parents’ day at school. The fun is all in the bright, colorful pictures that give meaning to the simple text; without them, there would be no story at all. Cauldrons, toads, salamanders, and bats are all here, and are all the more hilarious because they appear in the midst of a traditional suburban household. Youngsters will go back to this one again and again, each time finding new details to laugh over.  Marie Orlando, Suffolk Cooperative Library System, Bellport, NY
