Uncle John's Presents Mom's Bathtub Reader

Uncle John's Facts and Trivia

by Susan Steiner

Created as a gift item for Mother's Day or moms' birthdays, this book is filled with short, informative articles, advice, inspirational quotes, humor, proverbs, and profiles of famous moms. It includes what motherhood was like in ancient Greece and Rome, Victorian England, the Middle Ages, and even prehistoric cave-dwelling days; tributes to mothers, such as poems, literature, Whistler's Mother, and the Statue of Liberty; differences in motherhood across various cultures, including Eskimo, Jewish, African, Irish, Latin; great motherly advice in notable quotes and what famous and ordinary people learned from their moms; and motherly advice that turned out to be wrong.

It's all here — political moms, singing moms, animal moms, single moms, Elvis's mom, and the Mom Halls of Fame and Shame — written in a breezy, information-packed style perfect for browsing over a nice cup of tea.
