Review:
Kaitlyn and I loved this sweet story!  It's narrated by a little girl, who talks about the things she likes about pre-school.  She reflects on the fact that her mom knows how to do all kinds of things.  The little girl decides that her mom must have gone to Mom School, to learn how to be a great mom.
 
Mom School is full of beautiful illustrations.  Priscilla Burris did a wonderful job with the pictures.  They were Kaitlyn's favorite aspect of the story. 
 
I loved the sweet and concise prose.  The story flowed well and easily.  There was a bit of humor and the book ended on a really tender note.
 
Mom School is a great read.  It would be a perfect Mother's Day gift!
