Mommy doesn't know my name; she calls me Pumpkin, Honey and other endearments. Cute theme, and as an added bonus, this book deftly handles the fact that Mommy works during the day. Mommy brings her to a sitter, and gives her daughter a kiss and a "see you later, Alligator."

Note that this book is NOT the same Christopher Moore of inky-black humor books like "Practical Deamonkeeping," "Lamb," and "Bloodsucking Fiends" (et al).

This was a book club choice, and the feedback was mixed. Half of the club loved it, and the other half couldn't stand it. I'm in the latter. The author's writing style was brisk, but it wasn't hard to figure out what happened, the only question was how. And the missing girl and the terrible impact it had on her family was heartbreaking. I couldn't get past it.
