Review
In Margaret Park Bridges's whimsical, loving story of a mother and her daughter, the little girl tells her mom about all the things she would do for her if they traded places for a while. "If I were your mother, I'd give you a big canopy bed and bring you breakfast on a silver tray," the little girl ventures. She'd also let her go to school in her silky red party dress and high heels, even on gym day. She'd let her sleep in Granny's soft, furry coat--inside out--with her legs in the sleeves! And she'd kiss her forehead every night so she would have sweet dreams. Kady MacDonald Denton, illustrator of Would They Love a Lion? and The Umbrella Party, puts her endearing, comical, Maurice Sendak-like touch on this winning flight of fancy. The gentle affection between the mother and daughter is tangible, and children will adore the imaginative indulgences, from giant tree houses (with an elevator and a firefighter's pole to slide down) to taking a bath with goldfish. This would be a perfect Mother's Day present from a daughter to her mom... or a warm, deeply satisfying bedtime story any time of the year. Dads, take heart! This talented team has also created If I Were Your Father. (Ages 3 and older) --Karin Snelson
