Dear Mr. Wasn't Me, by Laura Jensen-Kimball* (WackyStack Books [self-published], 2020, $19.99, 32 pages, ages 2-10) Also available as a CD. Watch the trailer here.
Mom's four kids won't let her sleep in on Saturday by yelling, "It wasn't me!" so Mom falls out of bed and rushes downstairs to see what's the matter. Her toddler doesn't have any clothes on, her daughter is tied to her bedposts by her sleeves, the dog has peed on the carpet, and the list goes on and on with several 'incidents' on every page to chat about.
With a summary page of sorts for young readers to recollect about the chaos of the morning and with a twist at the end, you will remember this funny, true book for a long time.
The story starts when Mom starts a letter to Mr. Wasn't Me and tells him about her day, then ends the book with the letter's end - cute!
And yes, there is a dog (who else would pee on the carpet?) but he is an interesting cat-looking-like dog - or is that the cat?
Caveat: This book was sent to me for review.
*Also the author of Momster. If that doesn't sound scary I don't know what does.
