What’s for Dinner, Mom?

About the Book

The question, ‘What’s for Dinner, Mom?’ can sometimes make moms shake their heads, roll their eyes and moan. In answer to the question, Hadley and Alex decide to pretend to be Mom and make creative and unusual meals for each other. They call each other ‘pet’ names like Mom might use. After pretending to taste the made up meals, it is a relief when Mom shows up with some traditional and familiar food.
