Genuine ribbons of various textures, styles, and colors to touch and feel grace this Mother's Day celebration book. The tactile board book features two young sisters dressed in plaid dresses and hair ribbons, whispering, tiptoeing, and wrapping up carefully prepared surprises for their sleeping Mommy on her special day. Snippets of velvet, checked satin, and brightly-colored ribbons adorn the book cover, hair ties, flower vase, gift package, and the "World's Best Mommy" medallion sash. The tender story will appeal to the youngest child and the notion of creating, wrapping, and sharing the gifts adds a special touch that contributes to the book's value. Soft pastel pictures and the brief read-aloud story fill the pages and will appeal to wee ones. It is an enjoyable story for giving and sharing. 2005, Little Simon, Ages 3 to 5.—Barbara Troisi
