What Moms Can't Do by Douglas Wood 🟌🟌🟌

A child dinosaur lists numerous things that its mom can’t do but really, she can. The story line is cute but predictable and the humor in the story is missed on the children. The one point that comes across loud and clear is that a mom’s love for her child is absolute. She will help her child with anything, even if it seems impossible.

My granddaughter, age 5 was OK with the book. She was engaged but not enthralled. More than half of the things that moms can’t do her dad does. He wakes her in the morning, he makes her lunch, he does the grocery shopping, etc. My grandson thought that the dinosaurs looked more like lizards. Overall, an OK book but would rather get this from the library then have it in my grandchild’s bookshelf.

Fun Activities: Make a list with your child of things they things you can't do and then tackle them together.
