The Night Before Mother's Day

Genre: Realistic Fiction
Author: Natasha Wing
Illustrator: Amy Wummer
Awards: none
Grade level: K-2nd Grade

This is an adorable book about two children getting ready for mothers day! It is a spin-off of the night before Christmas and includes many of the literary aspects from that book. During the book, the two children and the father do things such as made cake, cards, and got their mom a gift. The next day they all awake on mother's day and pamper their mom with a spa day and everything else they did for her. 

This is a great realistic fiction book because most children(not all) will know what mother's day is and celebrate it with their mom. I put the grade level between K-2nd because there is simple vocabulary for young children to understand throughout the book, and I think younger children will really enjoy reading this around mother's day since they can relate to it. In my classroom, I would probably read this book and then the students could do an art activity based off of the book for their mothers/guardians in their life.
