Product Description
Product Description
The cousins are coming to tea and Mum is busy cleaning, shopping and cooking. Sam and his sister are no help at all; they just bicker and whinge and create even more mess. Meanwhile, something very strange is happening to Mum!
“Suddenly the door burst open. I had never seen Mum looking THIS cross before! She tried to shout, but all that came out was smoke and flames and a terrible roar. “Oh no, “ whispered Sam. “She’s gone completely BONKERS!”

Over the course of a day Mum changes into a monster as she becomes more and more stressed.
I read this book with my 'terrible two' after a bad week - we both knew where the book was coming from! Now all I have to say is "Mummy's tail is starting to grow" and he knows how cross I am without me having to raise my voice!
A very entertaining book for parents and children alike.

It's not often I find a book that my four year old and my not-quite-two year old both enjoy, but this one fits the bill, and I love reading it to them as well. It's funny, there's lots to relate to (especially for me), and it's well written and beautifully illustrated. Lots of details keep the older one happy: eg the fact that no one remembers to feed the cat until you close the back cover. If only all children's books were this good.

First saw this book read on 'The Tweenies' when watching with the kids (2 and 5)- they thought it was a great story, and I felt it would be a fun way to get them to realise how I feel when they are particularly trying!...
