Mums Don't Get Sick by Hafner Marylin
An story about the muddle a little girl gets into when she tries to take over running the house. One Saturday morning Mum feels sick and has to stay in bed. Then Dad goes out to the shops, leaving Abby in charge of the house and the baby. She thinks she can cope, but when the baby starts to yell and the washing machine makes a terrible noise and the jelly won't set, she starts to have second thoughts! Happily, all is sorted in the end and an exhausted Abby falls asleep at the dinner table. Marylin Hafner's energetic picture book captures the warm jumble of a loving household - and even the pets have their say!
