Happy Mother's Day!
Quote: A suburban mother's role is to deliver their children obstetrically once, and by car
forever... after. Peter De Vries
The Messy Mother's Day by Lucie Billingsley
Of course Mother's Day means breakfast in bed, it's 'the only way to eat.'
The young children and their dad get busy. Painting, gluing, cupcake baking - a
lot of careful preparations are undertaken ... and then, oops, Baxter the family
dog gets involved.
'What will Mum say when she opens the door?'
This is a jaunty book whose repeating lines, carefully placed alliteration and plenty of questions make it perfect for reading out loud.
The Greatest Mother's Day of All by Anne Mangan
A delightfully funny and heart-warming take on a typical family's celebration of Mother's Day with presents, breakfast in bed ... and all the ensuing mess, fun and good intentions gone astray that will be familiar to so many mothers.
My Mum is Beautiful
by Jessica Spanyol
Let me tell you all the ways I love my mum... My mum is beautiful because she
points out tiny things in books to me. In her newest picture book, Jessica
Spanyol succeeds in capturing, with great warmth and humour, the incredible bond
between a mother and a child. Told from the perspective of a small bear, these
very true words perfectly embody how love is measured in a child's mind: a
gesture so simple, can mean so very much.
