Taking Care of Mama by Mitra Modaressi

2010/32 pgs

About the Book: What's a family to do when Mama's sick? Take care of her of course!

Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: A sweet picture book about a raccoon family working together to take care of their sick mama. Mom's I'm sure will read this to their children in hopes that they'll get the hint.

The illustrations are bright and colorful and reminded me a bit of Mercer Mayer. It's a cute story, but I did find the typical stereotype of how Dad can't handle anything and if you leave him in charge things will crazy a bit annoying. But at least it wasn't the Dad's fault for the mess and he could actually cook lunch! A cute sick day book and maybe a sneaky way to teach kids about chores.
