When Maxine wakes up on the wrong side of the bed one morning, she
wonders if the problem might be her mother. What if she could try out a
new mom who doesn't make her brush her teeth or comb her hair? Enlisting
Mom to help her with the search, Maxine interviews various prospects to
be her new mother at the park, the toy store, and the zoo.
Unfortunately, these other mothers present a host of new problems and
concerns. Maybe her "old mother" was the best mother of all? For every
child who's ever wondered if the grass is greener, The Best Mother
affirms that there's nothing better than your own mother's love.
