Since our mothers can't be with us all the time, here's the perfect book to keep us on the straight and narrow. The Portable Mother is a delightful collection of 287 compliments, complaints, and warnings -- 'free advice' -- that mothers pass along to their children every generation. Illustrated with 26 original cartoons, it will make you laugh, cry, or run for cover. You'll find plenty of things you've heard your own mother say -- or, now that you're an adult, you've caught yourself saying, some of which have even started to make sense.
