Dear ol' Mom

Kate Feiffer and Diane Goode team up in a decidedly less sweet, but still pleasing book about motherly (and fatherly) behavior in My Mom Is Trying to Ruin My Life. Elementary school children will certainly identify with the embarrassing things her mother does to make her life miserable: Kissing her in public. Delivering clothes to her classroom. Talking loudly. Banning junk food. Worrying. This mother is guilty of all of them. The little girl imagines a scheme where her parents ultimately end up in jail because they are ruining her life. Goode's comedic illustrations are the perfect foil for this over-the-top fantasy. The expressions on the little girl's face tell the whole story of embarrassment and eventually, love and appreciation.
