Reviews

[Caitlyn Booth · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an awesome book to use when reading to young children, as they can probably relate to it at home. They will have the biggest smile on their face after this book is read to them, and will want to go act on it.

[The Brothers · Rating 4 out of 5]

A darling story of a mother who's always chastising her daughter for doing naughty things and saying that SHE never did anything like that as a child. Luckily, Grandma shows up and set the record straight.

Okay illustrations.
