While Mama Had a Quick Little Chat by Amy Reichert, illustrated Alexander Boiger

Have you ever wondered what goes on while you're blogging or on the phone? This hilarious book, one of my favorites, gives sway to a whole world of possibilities. It also reminds me of the child's perspective of waiting...waiting...waiting for mom to be done with whatever. 

Anna loves me to read this lyrical tale aloud using funny voices and jazzy rhythms.

Here's a link to an NPR interview about this book with the author and illustrator. The author says this book is "completely biographical" as she "begged" her mother to get off the phone from her volunteer work phone calling.
