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.

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