What can moms do? Just about anything. Holub’s book illustrates different occupations and moms’ hard work in a fun, playful style. From firetrucks to mail trucks, Mighty Moms shows the little trucks learning how to grow up to be just like mom.
Art Style
Joyce Wan’s illustrations were entertaining. While simple, the pictures drew the eye to them easily with bright colors.
Did I put it down?
Mighty Moms was a quick read. I often judge kids’ books by how much I enjoy reading them aloud. My fifteen-month-old sat through the entire book. I think that says more.
Content
The audience here is very young. I enjoy seeing multiple things happening here. Almost every page introduces a new color while using some fun rhymes. The onomatopoetic nature of the text makes it fun to read aloud as well.
Would I recommend Mighty Moms?
Yes, I would. This title reminded me of a Llama Llama collection that I bought for my daughter. The layout and style were very similar. The cardboard pages, although not indestructible, will stand up to some abuse, such as my daughter trying to teeth on them.
