My Mum wears a jelly bra.
She says it helps her figure.
I reckon she has matching pants
That make her bottom quiver.

Funny, silly, beautiful, emotional and thankful, this collection includes over fifty poems chosen by Gaby Morgan from Paul Cookson, Julia Donaldson, Rachel Rooney, and many more. With quirky illustrations by Jane Eccles, it's sure to make any mum laugh out loud, shed a happy tear, or raise a knowing eyebrow.
