Greatest gfift is not the most expensive!

Favorite characters: Biggest Little Mouse, Middle Mouse, Little Mouse, and Mother This book is about three mice who want to each get their mother a gift for Mother's Day. Each mouse wants to get the best gift, but it ends up being the littlest mouse who gets her the most unusual gift of all. A nice book illustrated with colorful pictures that show these three little mice along their journey for presents. A nice story that shows how to share your love for your mother on Mother's Day.

The Mother's Day Mice

I thought that this story is an excellent story for young children and their mothers to read together. This story about three, cute little mice is precious. They want to find the perfect present for their mother. The Little Mouse is the sweetest character I have read about in a while. They pass some dangerous situations as they search the meadow for the gifts. The surprise at the end of the story will make you so happy, that'll you'd do that for your mother! The story is a very cute story to read, especially around Mother's Day. The illustrations in it are very, very well done and the mice are the cutest mice ever!

The Most Wonderful Gift!

This is another heart warming story. It shows how much love there is for family and what family will do to do something special for the people they love. The mice were searching for special gifts for Mother Mouse on Mother's day..... and Little Mouse found the most wonderful gift of all!!! I think it's a very sweet book on how much family will do for each other. It tells what the little mice had to do to get their mother their own special present for a special day.

The Best Present of All

Big Mouse, Middle Mouse and Little Mouse (shades of the 3 bears) are so excited about Mother's Day that they are up two hours early. They hurry outside to find their parents. Little wants to give Mother a spray of honeysuckle, but Cat is sleeping on the porch of Honeysuckle Cottage. Soon it's too late to pick the flowers, so the mice hurry home. Little is sad because he has no gift for Mother, but soon he thinks of the very best present of all.Beautifully illustrated, with rich and tender prose, this book is a special one with a lovely message about a gift that lives forever.Sunnye Tiedemann (aka Ruth F.

A loveable portrait of family in the animal kingdom.

The Mother's Day Mice was one of the first books I ever read. My mother would always ask me to check it out from the library to bring home for her to read! The book quickly becomes a family favorite as it moves and enlightens children and adults alike. Hopefully you will make it an addition to your child's collection as well. You won't regret it as the story remains timeless. Sometimes the simplicity of a mice family can renew our sense of love and responsibility to our own cherished family members. Most of all, it brings a positive addition to any Mother's Day celebration.
