About This Book
Robert Munsch delivers a laugh-out-loud story about the universal experience of being embarrassed by your parents. Andrew's mom's public antics, like using spit to fix his hair or showing his teacher baby photos at the mall, drive him to distraction. He finds solidarity with his friend Taylor-Jae, whose mom is equally mortifying. Together, they devise a clever, humorous scheme to get even, leading to a delightful role reversal. This book is perfect for ages 4-8, offering a lighthearted way to discuss big feelings like embarrassment and the dynamics of family relationships.
Whether by showing his baby pictures to his teacher or smoothing his hair with spit, Andrew's mother constantly embarrasses him while at the mall until he figures out a way to get even.
