From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1–A little pig tries to surprise her mother on her special day. She takes Mommy breakfast in bed, unaware that she is spilling milk along the way. Next, she makes a card and leaves behind a puddle of glue, pulls up daffodils from the garden, uses yards of toilet paper to make a bow for the vase, and gets jelly all over herself. As her mother cheerfully cleans up behind her, the piglet plods on, oblivious to the mess she is creating. The resulting "surprise"–a lunch of jelly sandwiches–is mostly the adult's work anyway. The young protagonist comes off more annoying than adorable in this ultimately pale and irritating story. The oil paintings portray a strangely posed and stiff pair of pigs who spend most of the story in front of one flat background after another. Douglas Wood's What Moms Can't Do (S & S, 2001), Charlotte Zolotow's Say It! (Greenwillow, 1980; o.p.), and Rosemary Wells's Hazel's Amazing Mother (Turtleback, 1985) are far more enchanting and inviting stories.–Jane Marino, Bronxville Public Library, NY
