Mother's Day honors those loving moms and grandmothers that we treasure. To celebrate this special day, I chose books about animal moms and their babies. A child pig works hard to make her mom feel special by making her food and getting her flowers while making many messes in A Special Day For Mommy, by Dan Andreasen. Animal babies are reunited with their moms, thereby depicting mom's important role for us all in the reassuring book, Where Is My Mommy?, by Jule Downing. The love between a mother and child chimpanzee is portrayed in Mama Love, by Kathy Mallat. We thought of spring as I did the flannel story, "Five Little Flowers".
