Mother's Day Surprise

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kathi Ember. Unlike the other animals, Violet, a snake, doesn't know what to prepare for the perfect Mother’s Day gift. After some thought and much practice, she twists herself into a heart shape to show her mother how she feels. The story is bland and has a slow start, but the acrylic illustrations of forest animals are mildly amusing.
