The result is lots of love for Mom in the end. Sound familiar to any of you toddler moms out there? Instead of answering them off the cuff, Owly’s mother encourages her son to do the work of discovering on his own. Can you tell I’m a bird lover? Owly by Mike Thaler celebrates how mothers can foster curiosity and discovery in their children. Yes, two owl books featured in a Mother’s Day gift post. Doesn’t that sound like a fun way to spend Mother’s Day? It will definitely make all human mothers look like rock stars. This story is a great one to talk about animal mothers and how they are different than human mothers. Three baby owls anxiously await the arrival of their mother after she disappears into the night in Owl Babies by Martin Waddell.
It is one you will want to read again and again. I love how this book highlights that a family functions best when Mom is taken care of and everyone pitches in to keep the household rolling. A fun and true to life depiction of the heartfelt and imperfect workings of a mother who does her best to cater to the needs of seven children– all in one household, all from her womb. This is a book every mother needs in her household. It is sure to become a favorite of both mothers who work and spend time away from home and their children. No other bedtime book addresses working families as effectively as When Mama Comes Home Tonight. I love how it not only highlights exciting adventures a mother and son can engage in together, but it also calls attention to the fact that many times these family outings do not go as planned. They visit the aquarium, museum, toy store, and more.
