I loved this book! Mothers will love this book! Children will find the kids in the story amusing.
Mrs. Peters loves her children. Each child has specific food preferences to which she caters. But as the number of children increases in the family, Mrs. Peters becomes frazzled. She goes to bed exasperated on the eve of her birthday. Her children, however, sneak downstairs to create something to demonstrate their love for her. What can go wrong?!
The entire story is written in rhyme! Ms. Hoberman was a marvel.
The illustrations add so much to the story. Ms. Frazee demonstrates through them how well she understands children and family dynamics. I also found the home endearing and magical. I want to live there (but without the chaos!).
**Highly, highly recommend.
