Book Synopsis

Celebrating 10 years of publishing this hilarious and charming tribute to the children''s classic, for mums everywhere.

The day Mum didn''t get dressed and went on strike, Dad called her ''a Wild Thing'' and Mum said ''Cook your own dinner'' and stomped off upstairs to have a bath . . .

In this funny, touching homage to Maurice Sendak''s Where the Wild Things Are, a worn-out mum finds herself floating across time and space to the place where the Wild Mums are. Dazzled by her party tricks, they crown her Queen of the Wild Mums and try to entice her to join their conga . . . But Mum has just remembered who she loves best of all . . .

Lovingly illustrated by the award-winning Sholto Walker, this little book is the perfect gift for baby showers, new mums and any mum who''s ever wanted to go on strike.
