One star is still asleep in the sky when Biggest Mouse, Middle Mouse, and Little Mouse tiptoe outside to the meadow. It's Mother's Day, and they only have a little while to get their presents.

Biggest picks out a fluffy white wish flower; Middle finds Mother a juicy red strawberry. Little has his heart set on a spray of honeysuckle, but Cat is lying on the porch of Honeysuckle Cottage. "Maybe he'll leave soon," Little Mouse whispers hopefully. But he doesn't.

Now there's no time left to pick flowers. As they hurry home, Little feels terrible because he has nothing to give Mother. Then he thinks of the best present of all.

In a warm story illustrated with magical pictures, the three mouse brothers find special ways of sharing their love with Mother—and with each other as well.
