It's Mother's Day, and Gilbert wants to show his mother that she's the best! But nothing he does seems to work out quite right. To make matters worse, his little sister always manages to be in the way! Can Gilbert ever have his mother all to himself today? But more importantly, can he make this Mother's Day truly special?
Diane deGroat's heartfelt story and endearing illustrations will resonate with any reader who has ever had to share a parent's attention with a sibling.
Mother's Day brings yet another conundrum to the never-dull life of series star Gilbert (Roses Are Pink, Your Feet Really Stink; Happy Birthday to You, You Belong in a Zoo). Preparing breakfast in bed for his mother, the well-intentioned possum burns the toast, spills cereal all over the kitchen table and drenches his handmade card in orange juice. And when he delivers the food, younger sister Lola is curled up with their mother, who is admiring Lola's scribbled card. Jealous, Gilbert manages to keep his sister away from his mother all day-with unintended happy consequences. Lola is delighted by the unprecedented attention, and his mother is thrilled at the downtime. Full-bleed, large-scale illustrations convey the intermittently disgruntled and long-suffering hero's moods. Even without the peer tension that propels a number of deGroat's earlier Gilbert tales, this is a winning addition. Ages 3-8. (Mar.)

Mother, You're the Best! (But Sister, You're a Pest!)
Sharing time with a parent is hard to do sometimes. This Mother's Day Gilbert wants his mother all to himself but little sister Lola keeps getting in the way.
We have all had those days where nothing goes right at all and we get frustrated. In this story the character is definitely having one of those days. This is a great book to explain that everyone gets frustrated with themselves at some point in their lives. There are good ways to deal with it and bad ways. This book gives the reader good ideas of how to do good things for someone else even if it is not easy. Sharing is another thing that is hard for young children whether it is with a parent, friend or even a teacher. This book is written to say that it is not always easy to share and it is easy to get jealous, but it teaches a lesson of how to deal with those emotions.
