Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents can be extremely embarrassing - especially when they refuse to act like parents! And sometimes in MY MUM TARZAN it is not obvious who is the mother and who is the child! The house Mum and the narrator live in is basically one big dress-up box. And Mum has the kind of imagination that can take a broom, a pair of rainboots, a vacuum cleaner, a cardboard tube - and turn it into something wonderful. On stormy days, she dresses up as a pirate and drives the narrator to school in her ghostly galleon with the Jolly Roger flapping on the roof. Sometimes she goes shopping dressed as a mermaid and they don't go down the aisle with the canned fish on special because it makes her cry. Other days she is an Egyptian princess or the Man from Snowy River. Some of the neighbours envy her imagination; others say they wish shed grow up. But whether she is Tarzan swinging through the jungles or just Mum helping out with the reading at school, it's clear that - embarrassing or not - the narrator hopes that this unique mother never will.
