“Bring her a daisy,” Biggest Mouse said over his shoulder. “Bring her a rock,” Middle Mouse puffed. “They’re nice,” Little Mouse said. “But they’re not special enough for this special day.” Biggest Mouse, Middle Mouse, and Little Mouse all want to surprise Mother on Mother's Day. But can these playful mice pick the best presents all by themselves without getting into a whole lot of trouble? A charming celebration of Mother's Day, this is the perfect gift to share with someone special. Featuring a striking new cover design at a new trim size in paper-over-board format.

PreSchool-Grade 2 A story for Mother's Day, for spring, for any day. Three mouse brothers, clad in bright plaid shirts and lederhosen, leave their snug cottage, intent upon finding the perfect gifts for their mother. Their early morning search is filled with dangers: a snake hidden in the thick underbush, a fox running by. However, the mice are brave, and hand-in-tail, they traipse through brush and briars to find their presents. In the end, it is Little Mouse, returning empty-handed, who has the best surprise of all: a song. The perspective is from a mouse's vantage point: toadstools and ferns seem like trees; a ripe, juicy strawberry is so big that Middle Mouse can barely carry his gift in his two arms; a dandelion fluff ball towers over Biggest Mouse. Through deft, simple lines, Brett captures the brothers' fear, their enjoyment of the sights, smells and sounds of their world and finally, their sheer delight at finding just the right gifts for their appreciative mother. The finely honed details, the soft colors, the expressions of love and sharing make this a story that is as fresh and harmonious as Little Mouse's song. Trev Jones, "School Library Journal"
