This little book is so cute and is a great feel-good story. It could also give the students some ideas for what to do for Mother’s Day. I also enjoyed how this book rhymed throughout.

Summary:

In the beginning, the day before Mother’s Day, they got their mom distracted by making her go running with her friends. Then with the help of dad they made a cake, and then they made mom a card and a special coupon. Then they went to sleep and couldn’t stop thinking about Mother’s Day the next day and how great it was going to be. The next morning they gave her a giant flower bouquet and said Happy Mother’s Day. They gave her a spa session in the house with the mud mask, a pedicure and manicure and served her a special brunch. Their mom was so pleased and wished it could be Mother’s Day every day of the year.

I do believe I could use this book in the classroom because it is a short and cute little book that kids can really relate to. It also has a bunch of rhyming words which is fun.

The appropriate grade level for this book is Pre-K-1st.This book is short and easy to read and has rhyming words throughout.

This book could be read when it’s getting close to Mother’s Day, because it goes with the theme and then after reading the book the students will make Mother’s Day cards to give to their own moms.

HAVE FUN READING!💙-Lacy
