I Love My Mum by Anna Walker is a short and sweet book about Ollie the Zebra, and his mother. Together the pair navigated normal everyday chores and activities (such as taking a bath and going for a walk) with wonder and excitement. This book is ideal for children under 5 years of age as the sentences are short, the language simple and the water-coloured illustrations eye-catching and ultimately the star of the book. There's plenty of white space left around the simple images of Ollie and Mum, allowing for the child to superimpose their own world into the book. With its pretty pink cover, this book is aimed at girls, but I believe boys could appreciate it when the cover is ignored or overcome.

A great mother's day gift idea that both Mum and Child can share.

Anna Walker continues to delight with her soft, enticing illustrations and words.
Little Ollie loves his Mum and they share many precious, everyday moments.

This is a cute rhyming book that is geared toward the younger elementary grade levels. I think this would be a really cute bedtime story but the teacher would have to be sensitive about reading it aloud in the classroom. The rhyming words provide a fun flow to the book.

Such a cute story describing a mother-daughter relationship. REminded me of the time when I was young and used to spend time with my mom.

The illustrations are great, it could have been in bold and darker , looks sort of worn out and old.

Good one for a "mom" story time. It does an odd thing where the story is repeated twice, word for word. I'd read it once only.
