What can I get for Mother's Day? by Renae Hayward. Illus. by Susan Joy Lu

Finding a gift on Mother’s Day often becomes a dilemma for family members. There are so many choices and each child always wants to choose the very best. In this delightful new rhyming picture book, a young child struggles to make the ‘right’ choice for his mum.

Let me think…What would she like?
Some roller skates, A shiny bike,
Perfume from a fancy shop,
A multi-coloured sequin top?

Throughout each brightly illustrated page, more and more choices overwhelm the child. Until finally he settles on something that he is sure his mother will appreciate.

This is a book that will be enjoyed by young readers as the bold images are full of humour and detail, and the choices become more outrageous as the story progresses.

An expert course on how to dance,
A holiday to Paris, France?
A cuckoo clock, A baby croc?
Guitar and drums? (She loves to rock!)

Themes: Mother's Day, Gifts, Choices, Family.
