The Case of the Missing Mother is a storybook in which The Muppet Show cast and crew are preparing a special Mother's Day show at The Muppet Theatre.

Kermit and the others help Animal locate his mom, and mother and son perform a drum duet.
The book was also released several times as a book and record or book and tape set. The version accompanying the record/tape featured altered dialogue and other minor text changes to match the audio adaptation.
