“Affectionate and quirky” tales of two inventive brothers preparing for their mom’s birthday: “Spot-on for beginning independent readers.” —Kirkus Reviews
From the author and illustrator of Charlie & Mouse, a winner of the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award, this volume features four hilarious stories that make up one irresistible beginning chapter book.
Charlie & Mouse are preparing to celebrate one very special birthday: their mom’s. Young readers can follow along as the brothers choose the best pancakes, hunt for presents, decorate with snakes, and more. Things don’t go exactly as planned—but with plenty of humor and heart, Charlie and Mouse prove that sometimes when things aren’t perfect, what they turn out to be is even better.
