Synopses & Reviews
It seems to Lizzy all her mother EVER says is DON'T! Of course, Lizzy has some don'ts for her mother as well. Don't put my candy up so high. Don't put nuts in my apple pie. This is a situation that will touch mothers and daughters everywhere with its honest, on-target, humorous dialogue. Jessica Harper's playful cadence and lively refrain are catchy, making this a perfect read-aloud with potential for excellent follow-up discussions. Lindsay Harper duPont's ever-expressive illustrations dramatically set against bold backgrounds perfectly capture Lizzy's range of attitudes. Mothers and daughters will find the conclusion the word don't is a tiresome thing to say useful.
