Where the Wild Moms Are Hardcover – Illustrated, April 5, 2016

Perfect Mother’s Day gift for my daughter.

Silly and fun book. I like to get this book along with the kid's book "Where the Wild Things Are" as a baby shower gift.

So cute. Great conversation piece

A must read for every woman wanting to run away from home. A quick chuckle-filled trip to a land of make believe for tired, frustrated, over worked, never paid women everywhere.

Cute! Story ends with wild mom relaxing in her bathtub; bath salts would be a nice compliment to add to this gift. I bought this for my daughter who is a single mom and was a little bit disappointed that the story involved a supportive dad who watched the kids while mom relaxed. Well actually I’m most disappointed that my daughter doesn’t have a supportive husband, but my point is that it kind of made the story not as befitting for my daughter and I wasn’t able to see this until I had already purchased the book. Otherwise, it’s a darling book!

Through the years, so many conscientious parents have asked me, "How can I spare my children this discord through which I have had to pass?" My answer has always been something of a disappointment to them. The one thing parents can do for their children is live their lives as fully as they can, for this will open the children's imagination, grant permission to them to have their own journey, and open the doors of possibility for them.Wherever we are stuck, they will have a tendency to be stuck also or will spend their life trying to overcompensate. Living our own journey as fully as possible is not only a gift to our soul, it also frees up the generation behind us to live theirs as well. The very freedom to live our lives that we wished from our parents, we thereby grant to our children to live theirs.Once in a while one finds a person whose parents, or other formative influences, granted permission, but it is very rare and, of course, requires the fortuity of a supportive cultural setting as well. Permission is something that can be given if the parents not only affirm the child in his or her struggles, but also, even more importantly, live rich, full lives themselves. As Jung famously noted, no burden is greater for a child than the unlived life of the parent. What they have not faced in their lives remains a glass ceiling, a constriction that either the child serves or has to spend a lot of effort breaking through.James Hollis, Living an Examined Life

Similar to "Where the Wild Things Are" -- does not disappoint! Good colors; sturdy binding! LOVE the story!! Great for mom, grand-moms, and FRIENDS (who are one of the Wild Ones!)!

Because so amny of us read Where the Wild Things are, tjere are many opportuntities to satirize it for fun. This one does. I showed it to my daughters who are mothers and they all smiled and indicated they hoped I didnt pay too much for such a thin story which seemed to encouraged binge drinking, or escape drinking. Most of us have had escapism martinis and so we are able to enjoy the silly plot matching the childs version, ... with drinking. Wry smiles are all you are likely to get. I have 5 daughters so .. it got that many smiles. Not sure I would have bought such a thin satire for just one persons gifting pleasure. But I am glad I bought it for my grown girls. For the nostalgic wry moment we shared.
