Feature and Follow - Favorite Fictional Mom

 8474595901 873f4993f4 Feature & Follow #137

This is a tough one for me - most of my favorite books featuring youthful protagonists have missing mothers - To Kill a Mockingbird, Treasure Island, Oliver Twist, for example.

Mrs. Weasley is a good choice as she has many of the classical good features of a mother - caring, interested, multi-faceted. However, I didn't read all the books - just saw the movies.

A "left-field" choice is Mrs. Quimby from the popular Ramona series by Bevely Cleary.

Looking forward to reading your choices and your comments on mine!

    Top pick so far is Mrs. Weasley! I don't have one in particular as they vary from book to book. An awesome mom is an awesome mom. :)
