Kindergarten-Grade 2-Kittens Harry and Emily want to give their mother a special present for Mother's Day, so they ask her what she gave her mother when she was a child. Mother tells them that Grandma always replied that she didn't need gifts; that her daughter was the best one of all. The kittens think that they can come up with something better than "that silly no-presents stuff." After some helpful hints from dad, they organize a gift tray of mom's favorite flowers (marigolds), special pancakes (the ingredients include peanut butter and marshmallows), and a handmade card. Not surprisingly, nothing goes as planned, but mom is delighted nonetheless. Whimsical details enliven the story. Beginning readers will recognize themselves in thoughtful Harry and rambunctious Emily. Ruelle's naive ink with colorful wash artwork is charming and perfectly suited to the text.

From Booklist
Gr. 1-2, younger for reading aloud. It's March, and Harry and Emily, last seen in April Fool! (2002), are making plans for Mother's Day. While most children don't think that far ahead, every other aspect of the story is thoroughly childlike. The two kittens discuss possible things to do for their mother and decide to give her flowers, a card, and breakfast in bed. Since Emily forgets to water her marigold seeds, her plants don't grow. On Mother's Day, the pancakes Harry makes are decidedly lumpy (maybe it's the marshmallows). And when Emily jumps onto her mother's bed, the breakfast tray tips and the pancakes, flowers, card, and maple syrup spill onto the covers. Children will enjoy reading about Harry and Emily's plans and misadventures. Their realistically child-sized dilemmas are solved through a combination of their own efforts and a little help from their parents. The simple, stylized line drawings, washed with gentle colors, are spontaneous and expressive. Entertaining Mother's Day fare for young readers and, as a read-aloud choice, for younger children as well. Carolyn Phelan
