For Mommy on her special day, a pig child enthusiastically fixes breakfast, makes a card, assembles sandwiches, and decorates flowers with a neat toilet-paper bow (a rather unlikely accomplishment). The humorous if heavy oil paintings show her good-natured mother following behind, cleaning up the inevitable messes. Cute, but rather parent-pointed.
