In this heartwarming follow-up to Laurel Snyder’s award-winning beginning chapter book Charlie & Mouse, the two brothers prepare to celebrate one very special birthday: their mom’s!  Follow along as they 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.
