Author/Illustrator: Natasha Wing and Amy Wummer
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Age Group: K - 2nd
Summary:
The father of two young girls comes up with a plan to get their mother out of the house so they can set up and bake a cake for their mother the night before Mother's Day. When she leaves to go running with her friends the children rush off and make her cards and help make a cake with their dad. The next morning when it was Mother's Day they woke her up with flowers, treated her to an at-home spa, and the father made brunch. The mother enjoyed her day and wished every day was Mother's Day.
I would use this book in a lower elementary classroom and use this as a read-aloud and discuss what they do for Mother's Day. I think the age group is appropriate because that is when they can start making small gifts and understand the actual meaning behind the holiday.
In my classroom, I would use this book as an intro before having the students make a Mothers Day gift, or a parental figure gift, and have them write a card or make something to give to them.
