- My Mom Has X-Ray Vision by Angela McAllister explores how a mom can know what you are up to when she isn’t even in the same room as you are. Among other things how does she know you have her pots and pans?
- Matthew decides to test out his mom’s vision and whether she can see through walls. Mom doesn’t pass the test. She doesn’t know where he is hiding due to her saving the life of the neighbor next door during that same period of time.
- There must be another way that she finds things out Matthen decides. Maybe she has eyes on the back of her head. This is such a cute book. I love the illustrations done by Alex T. Smith. The mom pictured in her superhero outfit is priceless. Leaving the children hanging as to how mom knows things will be a great story starter. I bet your children can come up with other superpowers mom and dads can have.
What did we do?
Craft
JDaniel added hair to a self-portrait of me using noodles. I decided to use 3-D glasses instead of x-ray glasses. JDaniel got a little carried away with the noodles. I wish my hair was this full of the volume of both sides of my head.



I always love reading your book activities – they are always so creative and give me so many ideas for what to do with Georgia.
Peace to your weekend…thanks again for encouraging us all!
That is a cute idea!!
So cute! You always remind me that there is more to than just reading a book to your child. I need to be more interactive too. Thanks for the inspiration!
That looks like a really fun activity. Thanks for hosting!
Love the 3-D glasses! Sounds like a great book! Stumbled this.
I totally agree with you- I now have “pasta hair envy!” :0)

What a funny book!
Fabulous noodle portrait and the 3D glasses are a nice touch! Sometimes I wish I had x-ray vision and eyes in the back of my head.
Love the noodles!
It is always so interesting to me to see kids’ interpretations of mom and dad.
Thank you so much for linking to the Resource Centre! I am sure teachers will love the way they can use the different textures of pasta!
