Why Is Mommy So Tired?
For ages 3-9... Being a parent is rewarding, but it can also be a demanding and wearisome job. Why Is Mommy So Tired? is a comical yet heartwarming story about tired, exhausted parents, the Wearys, and their rambunctious but loveable son Rowdy. The Wearys, like most parents, have a very difficult time finding the energy to play with their little Rowdy. Until one night, Mrs. Weary makes a surprising and unbelievable discovery when suddenly awakened by a strange noise. Could she have uncovered the true reason she and parents everywhere are always so tired? What will parents do when they find out the shocking news and what will happen to Rowdy? Read along to find out what the Wearys and all the parents do with their new found energy. Why Is Mommy So Tired? will soon become your new favorite family read-a-loud and will remind parents of the importance of playing with their children. Play is a crucial part of childhood development. It teaches kids how to think, learn, create, problem solve, work together, process emotions, and so much more. When parents join in the fun, the benefits of play are greatly increased. So parents, reconnect with your inner "Rowdy" and remember to actively participate in your child's playtime regularly. Don't forget, READ AND PLAY EVERYDAY!

My son and I reviewed this book for Mother Daughter Book Reviews. Here are excerpts from our reviews. For the full review, please visit our website.
SON SAYS:
I really liked all of the pictures because they are funny. My favorite picture is the one where Rowdy goes in the bedroom to steal his parents’ energy. It’s funny because they are like little energy bottles and you get energy from them. In the main picture of the grown-ups playing, Mr. and Mrs. Weary are not one of the grown-ups and they should have been. My favorite part of the book is when the kid got his energy back at the end of the book. It was a fun part of the book when the grown-ups had lots of energy though. I really really liked this book because it’s really funny. I think all people would like this book – especially tired parents.
MOM SAYS:
Well this “in-between” tired parent loved the concept behind this book, the over-the-top silliness of the story and illustrations, and the message underlying the story of loving and appreciating those energetic children regardless of how exhausted we are feeling. I think seriously that any parent who has children still interested in reading picture books will enjoy this book. Oh, and I’m sure kids aged 3+ will find it equally silly.
