Celebrating Mom!

I'm a day late with my Mother's Day list.  However, I believe moms should be celebrated year-round.  So here are some of my favorite picture books celebrating mom . . . .

Mom Pie by Lynne Jonell
Because their mother seems too busy preparing for company, Christopher and Robbie cook up the idea of a Mom pie to serve as her surrogate.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame by Maryann Kovalski
The lyrics of the familiar song, with illustrations showing two baseball-mad girls enjoying a ballgame with their grandmother.

My Monster Mama Loves Me So by Laura Leuck
A young monster describes all the things its mother does to show she loves it.

Kiss Kiss by Margaret Wild
Baby Hippo is in such a rush to play one morning he forgets to kiss his mama, but strangely all the jungle noises seem to remind him.
