Audience: K-1st grade

Overview: This story is about two young kids wanting to make breakfast for their mother. With the help from their dad they create a wide variety of foods for her. The mother was of course very thankful for her breakfast in bed. This book is very unique in that after a new food or drink item that is added, the story repeats everything else that is on the tray. The twist is that in place of the word there is a picture. For example in place of the word jelly, they place a picture of jelly.

Activity: This is a good book to read around Mother's Day. The class could also create their own story changing out the words with pictures of their choice.
