That Mama is a Grouch is a book that my family and I will treasure for ages. It's one of my boys' favorites! They are four years apart (3&7), and can each relate to the topics and messages in this story. The vibrant illustrations and colorful dialogue captures their attention and keeps them interested. It's a wholesome, fun read that speaks to both parents and children. Ellis weaves messages of understanding, compassion and patience into a tale that children can relate to. I highly suggest S...more
Absolutely Brilliant! My children love this book. The first time me and my daughter read it she went right upstairs to clean her room, and that never happens! Every Mother and child can relate to this book. It is both humorous and delightful and explains both aspects of the typical family household, the messy child and the grouchy mom. I highly recommend this book!
I like this book! If I had a dollar for every time I told my son to clean up his room and he said I was being a Grouch.
