School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 2-Many things change when your mother turns into a beast. The young narrator of this tale proceeds to enumerate all the things that he has to deal with, and not all of them are negative. While the child is forced to do things on his own, as if she weren't there, the beast mother is also not constantly saying "no"-so he can do whatever he wants. But just at the moment that he has become accustomed to the beast, it transforms into his mother, and that is not easy either. This book is surprisingly sweet, imparting the message that, without a doubt, mothers are better than beasts, but encourages patience and understanding when they are in a beastly mood.
