There Are Moms Way Worse Than You - by Glenn Boozan (Hardcover)

About the Book

A rhyming illustrated humor book for moms who feel they're not doing a good job (and that's all moms, right?). Packed with scientifically true examples of terrible parents in the animal kingdom, to remind and reassure any mother that there are way worse moms out there.

Book Synopsis

A hilarious and reassuring gift for every mom: because we're all doing the best we can, and the natural world is filled with moms worse than you!

A mom giraffe is pretty nice until the fetus drops.
She'll birth a newborn baby calf, then kick him 'til he walks.

Whenever you feel guilty that you haven't cleaned the house:
Sexton beetles raise their kids in a decomposing mouse.

A koala mom will feed her kids her own poop. Yes, poop. Panda moms will abandon one twin because raising two is, well, just too much. And every now and then a cuddly little hamster mom will --yup-- eat her newborn pups.
These and other true facts from the animal kingdom offer a hilarious reality check on what constitutes "good parenting." So, human mother, time to stop worrying about the job you're doing --because you're a great mom.
