Early in the evening two young brothers and their mama finish supper in the sturdy red cabin and set out to fish. While digging for worms, rowing the boat and pulling in fish, each brother asks his mama which one is the best at each task and, as they are being tucked into bed, which one she loves the best.

I read this book several years ago and was very touched by it. Now, many years later I have two young boys of my own. This book has been a wonderful book to read to my boys to let them know how much mommy loves them both!
