31 Uses for a Mom by Harriet Ziefert illustrated by Rebecca Doughty

Recently the children's librarian read a bunch of books to preschoolers that celebrate family.  She, of course, displayed lots of books about this topic.  We picked a few to enjoy at home.  This title was one of them.
In list fashion, Ms. Ziefert reinforces all the hats moms wear! (examples-encyclopedia, tooth puller, party planner, hand holder, page turner etc-and lastly-friend!)
For mother's day it would be fun to read this book aloud to students and have them create their own list of "uses" for their mom.  A simple, meaningful gift.
Read Ms. Ziefert's other books similar to this title-(40 Uses for a Grandpa, 41 Uses for a Grandma, 39 Uses for a Friend).
Strategy: expanding vocab.
