Review:
I was lucky enough to be sent a review copy of this book from the publisher, and was very pleased to receive it.  I'm a huge fan of Giles Andreae's work - the author of Giraffes Can't Dance and The Lion who Wanted to Love - and this book has immediately become one of the most-requested books in our house (it's also really nice to hear your 2.5 year old toddler say "I Love Mummu" over and over!)

This books is written in much more of a Purple Ronnie style than Giles's other childrens books, but this adds to the humour and gentle rhyming of the book.

I thoroughly recommend this book - I'm hoping there will be one called I Love my Daddy at some point too, to add to our collection!

If you're interested in purchasing this book, you can pick it up here at Fishpond.

My rating: 5/5 - a lovely wee book, all about why Mums are great!
