I am trying to remember the title and author of a children’s book. It had pictures. It was about a little boy with an extremely overbearing mother. Or maybe it was about a man with an extremely overbearing wife. At a certain point, the woman is carried off by a large bird, and then the boy (or man) has a peaceful life.
I can’t imagine what the title might have been. So-and-so’s mother? The bossy wife?
I read the book as a child, in the late 60’s or early 70’s.
I remember the picture of the bird carrying off the woman – she was large but got smaller and smaller as the bird flew away.
