So what can the cubs possibly do to show their mom how much they love her?" -- Back cover.

April is National Poetry Month

     Birthday Present, Cake, BalloonsMy mother gave me candy...

     it squirted in my eye.

     My sister gave me handkerchiefs...

     they made me itch and cry.

 

     My father gave me boxing gloves...

     I touched them and they burst.

     Why ever does my birthday

     have to fall on April first?

            ---"My Mother Gave Me Candy"
