With Mother’s Day just around the corner, BooksForTopics founder Alison has picked out five favourite children’s books all about marvellous mums.
Who wouldn’t want to be just like mummy, when she is loving and silly, creative and practical? She also knows how to have fun, and even if she messes up, it’s never a big deal. Mum can deal with any situation, turning disaster into joy, and tears into laughter. This celebration of mothers is a beautiful, funny and heart-warming story.
The follow up to Just Like Daddy from Lucy Freegard, this is funny, captivating and colourful – a delightful read.
At the start of winter, two bear cubs are born, deep in their den in the frozen north. ‘Mama, what lies beyond here?’ they ask. “‘Above us is a land of ice and snow.” “What lies beyond the ice and snow?” they ask. “The ocean, full of ice from long ago.” And as they learn the secrets of the earth and their place in it, Mama Bear whispers, “You’re snug with me.”
She’s nice, my mum …My mum’s a fantastic cook, and a brilliant juggler. She’s a great painter, and the strongest woman in the world! She’s really nice, my mum. A warm, funny tribute to Mum (and to mums everywhere) by the brilliant author/illustrator Anthony Browne.

She knows when he’s bouncing on his bed.
She even knows when he’s wrestling with giant sea monsters in the bath!
But how does she do it?
There can only be one answer: she must have X-RAY VISION!
So one day Milo decides to put Mum’s powers to the test…
