What Not to Give Your Mom on Mother's Day

24 pp. | Amazon | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4778-1647-9 $14.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by 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.
