Mother, You're the Best!: (But Sister, You're a Pest!)

(3) K-3 Wanting Mom all to himself on Mother's Day, opossum Gilbert does what he can to get his sister out of the way. More than the homemade card, breakfast in bed, or chocolate ice cream, though, Gilbert's inadvertent babysitting is what Mom appreciates most. Gilbert's mixed motivations will resonate with readers, as will the comfortably recognizable images of Gilbert and family.
