Jana Christy.
A boy has some Mother's Day advice for readers: "Do NOT give her dead flies...unless she is a spider." "Do NOT give her some mosquitoes...unless she is a bat." Concluding nine don'ts is the book's only "do": a hug and kiss. It's all blandly amusing and features humorous illustrations showing a mom reacting to her misguided almost-gifts.
