Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 2 and up

“‘Eatums, eatums, yum, yum, yum.’ Silly Mommy. ‘Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop.’ Silly Daddy.” Beth won’t smile today. Who can cheer her up? Not Mommy, not Daddy, not Grandpa or Grandma. Not even silly Auntie Bea. Can anyone brighten Beth’s mood? Maybe big sister can save the day . . . Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick’s short, lively text and engaging illustrations make this an ideal book for even the youngest reader, and a fun one to share with a sibling.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1–Beth is wearing a frown today. Nothing that her father or mother, or Grandma or Grandpa, or her aunts and uncle do can make it disappear. She just thinks they are all Sillybillies. But when her sister comes home and mimics her expression, sticks out her tongue, and makes a funny face, just a hint of a smile appears. Then it becomes a burst of laughter. A simple oversize text and brilliant hues in gouache watercolors will nudge youngsters into giggles as a special sisterly bond works its magic.–Wanda Meyers-Hines, Ridgecrest Elementary School, Huntsville, AL

This review is from: Silly Mommy, Silly Daddy (Hardcover)

Inspired by the crabby niece of award-winning Irish author and illustrator Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick, Silly Mommy, Silly Daddy is an easy reader picturebook that tells its charming story through the simplistic color illustrations as strongly as with words. Little Beth is in a sour mood and won't smile for anyone; her family tries to lift her spirits, but they're all just acting silly. Only Beth's clever big sister knows just the right remedy to turn Beth's frown upside-down! A delightfully funny storybook meant to be shared with the very young.
