Silly Mum

Jo’s mum is working from home today. Jo is four years old and is supposed to be in kinder garden, but mum thinks Jo should have a day off from kinder garden. Is that really a good idea …?

The books about Jo and his mum were published in the late 80’s and were really popular because they were the first chapter books for children. It is the story that counts, not big, colourful images.

The children meet an everyday that they can relate to, and everyday that is neither fantastic or surreal, but exciting enough, within safe and clear bounds.
