The Day My Mom Came to Kindergarten

32 pp. | Kids Can | March, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-55453-698-6 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Lowery. A girl invites her mother to spend the day with her in kindergarten. Mom is enthusiastic but doesn't follow the class rules, which embarrasses her daughter greatly. By the end of the day, she does much better and makes fewer mistakes. The simply composed Photoshop illustrations match the text's humorous tone, but the girl narrator's know-it-all attitude makes the story a bit didactic.
