(4) PS Illustrated by Dana Kubick. Stanley the cat can't think of the right gift for his mother for Mother's Day until he decides to fill a large cardboard box with kisses that will last "forever." French tells the familiar sentimental story well. Readers are carried along in gentle suspense through Stanley's failed efforts until the very last page, while Kubick's illustrations convey Stanley's roller coaster emotions through slumped shoulders or droopy whiskers.
