My Mum Always Looks After Me So Much — Sean Taylor

My Mom Always Looks After Me So Much! is a funny, heartwarming picture book about Little Gorilla's trip to the doctor to get a shot and, ultimately, about the love between a mother and child -- told in simple sentences by master storyteller Sean Taylor, with sweet and richly detailed illustrations by the Waterstones Children's Book Prizeâ€"shortlisted David Barrow.

Little Gorilla is going to the doctor for a shot. His mom says it's because she has to look after him. But that's the problem -- his mom always looks after him so much. First, she makes him eat broccoli, then, whenever he sneezes, he has to put on an extra sweater. And now a shot!

But it's not all bad -- the doctor gives Little Gorilla a stick-thing that smells of strawberries for being brave. He loves it -- but then he leaves it on the bus on the way home! Little Gorilla is distraught -- but his mom takes him back to the doctor for another stick thing. His mom really does look after him so much.
