Description
Junie and Ruby bicker all day. They bicker over breakfast, about clothes, and even over a pencil they find on the floor. They are so busy bickering they don't notice that Mummy is acting differently . . . she's huffing, she's puffing, and she's sprouting FUR!
When Mummy becomes the cheeky Mummy Monster, Junie and Ruby get a taste of their own medicine. They need to find a way to turn their Mummy back to normal . . . and to do that, they must put their differences aside.
Rochelle Falconer's debut picture book is a relatable story about family life, sibling rivalry, and mischievous mums with lots of humour and plenty of heart.
