I was gifted this collection of poems recently and while it was not my cup of tea, I can appreciate the complex interactions between mothers and children. I think that if I were a mother I'd be able to relate to more of the content on these pages, but I found myself disengaged and disconnected. A heart-warming read, just not for me!

This was a nice collection of childrens poetry. They were all sweet and interesting and a few made me laugh with the humor of them. It was a good book that I'd reccomend any parent read to their children- or a sister read to her siblings, like I did.

THE RAG
Runny nose?
what better rag then Mother's apron,
rich with the smell of lemon soap.

Another mess?
Mother will clean it up.
Don't worry. Leave it. Run and play

Mother the Rag saves the day
