Little Rabbit and the Meanest Mother on Earth by Kate Klise. Little Rabbit is *supposed* to be cleaning his room when the circus comes to town. He begs his mother to go, but of course his room isn't clean, so it's a no-go. So what does he do? Tries to join the circus. He can if he sells 100 tickets. His act? The Meanest Mother on Earth. Little Rabbit gets quite inventive in his effort to sell tickets. Needless to say, the audience is quite disappointed when she shows up. Mama manages to turn the tables though, and the audience gets a show and Little Rabbit learns a lesson.
My Monster Mama Loves Me So by Laura Leuck. This is one of those my-mom-is-the-best-for-all-these-reasons book, but with a monster twist.
My Mommy is Magic by Carl Norac. This book lists all the reasons the girl's mother is magic, like when she wears her cloud dress, the sky is clear or when she sings the butterflies gather. It goes through all the reasons and then the girl says "My mommy is magic and one day I'm going to grow up and be magic just like her." A-dorable!
Ol' Mama Squirrel by David Ezra Stein. This is about a mama squirrel that will do anything she can to protect her babies (and she's really good at it). One day, an ENORMOUS scary problem comes along that she can't handle by herself, but mama squirrel is resourceful and gets the job done!
Mama Don't Allow
So this is actually the name of a book (By Thacher Hurd), but we do it as a song. Maaaaaybe not the best one to do when you're trying to honor mothers, but *shrug*.
Mama don't allow no hand clappin' 'round here (clap, clap, clap)
Mama don't allow no hand clappin' 'round here (clap, clap, clap)
Well I don't care what Mama don't allow, gonna clap my hands any old how,
Mama don't allow no hand clappin' 'round here (clap, clap, clap)
Mama don't allow no foot stompin' 'round here (stomp, stomp, stomp)

Well I don't care what Mama don't allow, gonna carry on any old how,

There's also a couple of nursery rhymes you could do:
Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor dog a bone;
But when she came there
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do;
She gave them some broth without any bread;
Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
