Poor Douglass....he just wants a HUG! He tries a tree, a rock, a bush - that moves! Huh?, but nothing seems right. Then he comes upon a rabbit that helps him find his way to the biggest, warmest arms, his Mommy, of course! The book is funny, the 3 year old here thinks it is hilarious, especially the moving bush, and the illustrations adorable. We have also spent lots of time examining the last page with the rabbit and sheep demonstrating lots of different hugs: sandwich hug, upside-down hug, solo hug, etc. I am bummed that I missed this one in Scholastic book order earlier this year as it is a purchase item for sure.

Another Mother's Day book is Mother's Day Surprise by Stephen Krensky. Violet (the snake) is watching all her friends prepare something special for Mother's Day. She is sad that she an not as she has no arms or legs. Finally she comes up with a great gift for her special mom. She must practice, practice, practice. When the big day arrives, Violet is able to give her mom the special gift, and receives one in return. Sweet story to share in preparation for Mother's Day that reminds the reader about the true meaning of giving.
