Title:  A Gift for Mama
Author:  Esther Hautzig
Reviewer:   Ashley B.  '07

A Gift for Mama is about a creative little girl, Sara, who always makes gifts for special occasions in her family; it is a tradition. This year, Sara wants to be a grown-up and buy her mother a present for Mother’s Day. The present that Sara would like to buy is perfect for her mother - a new pair of slippers, but they were way too much money. Sara is very good at sewing and embroidery, so she decides to be a clothes doctor to earn more money. She tried many many ways to earn the right amount.

I liked this book a lot because, just like One Hundred Dresses, the main character in the book is very creative. I would rate A Gift for Mama as an eight out of ten.
