The Most Thankful Thing

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cyd Moore. Paging through her mother's scrapbook, a little girl tries to guess the experience for which her mom is most thankful. The lighthearted illustrations capably depict both real experiences from the mother's past (e.g., she plays guitar on stage) and imagined scenes (she performs with a famous rock band), but there's no suspense here: readers will predict from the start that her "most thankful thing" is her daughter.
