The Magic of Mums Reviews

A wonderful and diverse range of mothers are represented...Cleverly observed, there's the bake-off mum, the celebrity mum, the football mum and two mums. Plenty for readers to think about and savour.

* Library Girl & Book Boy *

An absolute gem. It's witty, wise and heart-warming.

* Books for Topics *

Justin Coe shares his observations with honestly, humour and love...the illustrations by Steve Wells are powerful in that they reinforce the ideas of diversity and inclusivity.

* Books for Keeps 5 star review *

The book moves through well-judged shades of humour, light and sadness. It doesn't shy from complex issues...Throughout, Steve Wells' sparky illustrations emphasise the inclusive nature of the book, one that is charged with humour and love.

* Reading Zone - 5 star review *

A fantastic poetry compilation.

* Read It, Daddy! *

Lovely...there's a good range of styles, personalities and aspects of motherhood covered!

* Poetry Roundabout *

Interesting and moving.

* Poetry Zone *

Tender, witty and observant verses featuring 50 different mums, paired with cartoonish black-and white illustrations.

-- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *

A fun sequel to The Dictionary of Dads, this collection of 46 poems means there's a mum for everyone...Full of fun with heart.

* WRD About Books *

A nice balance of rhyming and non-rhyming verses, a good serving of humour, a pinch of poignancy and much food for thought.

* English Association *
