What little girl doesn't want to pretend to be the mommy! This was an instant favorite for my kids. It's sweet, innocent, and shows the love her mom shows her through her pretend play. The other reviews that this is outdated and offensive are silly.
My 21 month old daughter brings this book to me constantly to read it to her, and it has fast become her very favorite book. The pictures are just beautiful, and I love the story. The little girl has obviously been trained well at the hand of a loving mommy, and the little girl is a wonderful "little mommy" herself. I would like to comment on some of the anti-little mommy reviews that I read on here. It seems that the main arguments are that this book teaches that women can only be home raising their children and that it shows mothers basically slaving and exhausting themselves when they are home. Um, yes, staying home and raising your children requires much work, and at times is exhausting, and I'm not going into the moral ramifications of allowing daycare workers, nannies, and preschool teachers to shape the morals of our children, rather than being home and shaping them ourselves, in this review. However, this book is a great depiction of what it is to truly mother your children. The girl HAPPILY takes up the work. She's not dreading each diaper change, dreading the housework, or the cooking, and when she goes to bed at night, though exhausted, she is smiling at her babies, and quite content with her lot. She takes her babies by her side as she works (obviously she learned this at her own mother's knee), and I personally love this depiction of a mommy's role. The book is called Little Mommy. It's not called Little Doctor, Little Lawyer, or Little CEO, and the book rightly depicts a Little Mommy. If you want a book showing little girls pretending to be doctors, lawyers, or CEO's, buy them. But to say that this book is limiting your daughter by showing her that girls can only do one thing is ridiculous. If you bought a book called "Little Lawyer," I doubt you'd be reviewing the book negatively because it shows that women can only be lawyers. Would you prefer the book to show the mother waking up frazzled in the morning, complaining about her husband, chasing the children out of the house because it's time for daycare, feeding them poptarts in the car because the mother has no time to cook for her familiy, talking on her cell phone while her children watch a DVD in the backseat on the way to day care, then leaving her children at daycare crying, screaming, and pitching a fit because they'd rather be with their mommy than left with a bunch of strangers? That's what the Little Mommies of today are learning that mothering is, but I doubt that a book depicting motherhood as it truly is today would be palatable to the mothers complaining about this book either. If you want a book that shows a loving mother HAPPILY taking care of her children, her home, and her husband, this book would be a lovely choice for your family. If you want a depiction of what your daughters are learning it means to be a modern little mommy, this book is not for you. If you want to give your daughter options as to different occupations, buy this book along with books that emphasize other occupations.
Precious pictures. I love this little book but my DIL was offended by the stereotype of “daddy goes to work and mommy stays home.” Just be aware that this might not be well accepted by everyone.
Ive loved these Little Golden Books since I was a child. I’ve loved the illustrator Eloise Wilkins for sooo long. My daughter had that same angelic face as Eloise’s little children do. Rosey cheeks, tiny nose, perfect lips.
My granddaughter is very particular about reading material for her two-year-old, so when I paired "Little Mommy" with the Purple "Madame Alexander" baby doll I "held my breath". Then I found out I gave a very acceptable gift. The two year old and the thirty five year old have now read that book so many times they have both memorized (cover to cover) and recite it together. Nothing to fear in this "Little Golden Book"!
My daughters love this book! I am a Homeschooling SAHM and my girls see me doing all of the things spoken about in this story! Mom cooks, cleans, educates and takes care of sick children! Life is busy for moms!
My great grand daughter has a lot of dolls and she play acts as a mommy to them all. This book is ideal for her.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Perfect classic
I now know this book off by heart! Such a beautifully illustrated classic! My daughter has loved it since she was 8 months old. Of course it isn't great for gender equality but I have a diverse library for her so it shouldn't make an impact!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Very cute book.
Bought it for a friends little girl, she had also had them when she was little and was pleased to see them again.
One of our favourite books. Lovely illustrations.
Que livrinho lindo que historinha boa, que ilustrações! Serve para todas as idades, sem dúvida. Para todos que gostarem do que é bonito e inocente.
Comprei pensando que era original mas na verdade é uma cópia fajuta. Literalmente a capa é um papel colado em papelão e a impressão é de impressora caseira em FOLHA SULFITE. Se soubesse disso não teria comprado.

My mother told me that I began drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil, at two or three years old. She, being an artist herself, and a writer, always encouraged my creative inclinations.
Our family was far from affluent but my life was rich with my mother's exuberant personality and love of books. She regularly read to my brother and me and stimulated our imaginations and fondness for books.
I began creating, with pencil drawing and watercolor, my own little books of pictures with my stories and poems when I was seven, eight and nine years old. A love of children, animals and nature led me naturally to children's book illustration, and I drew on my own (mostly) happy childhood for inspiration. I had very little formal art training but learned first from my mother and then from art and illustration that I saw in books, and then from my own careful observation of the world around me.
At nine, a picture of mine, a silhouette of a deer under a willow tree, was published in a children's magazine. That was a thrill that started me on a path to seeking wider and wider publication. I continued to submit my artwork, stories and poems to any magazine or newspaper that featured a children's page, and happily saw them published.
When I reached my teens, the high school world attracted my attention and I created a cartoon to reflect my new interest. Starting first with publication in the local newspaper, "Buttons an' Beaux" reached the attention of New York newspaper syndicates and I was offered a contract for syndication. That carried me through my college years. During these same years my mother's career as a writer and illustrator of children's books was burgeoning as well.
Following college I married and found myself more and more intrigued with children's book illustration. I began submitting samples of my artwork to various publishers with encouraging responses from editors but with no actual assignments. Finally, inspired to write and illustrate my own book, I did so and sent it to my mother for her feedback. Without telling me, she sent it to a publisher she knew, and in due time it was published, my first picture book, "Where Are You Going Today?"
With that publication I was now a proven illustrator, and from that point on my work was readily accepted by other publishers and I was offered illustration jobs for numerous children's books, Little Golden Books and Rand McNally Elf Books. During those same years I gave birth to my own children and was even further inspired by them.
I continued my illustrating for twenty years and saw the publication of some two dozen children’s books. Then, experiencing a mid-life crisis of sorts, I dropped all interest in my art and turned my attention to spiritual exploration and growth. This consumed me for several decades and still is a vital part of my life. (See my Kindle book "The God Search" for details of my journey.)
However, a number of people shamed me for neglecting my art talent and I decided I should get back to it. My first painting was of the 15 X 20” watercolor, “The Children’s Tree”, which won a prize in a local art show. I continued with a series of six paintings which were displayed in local libraries.
One day a friend told me that my books were being sold on eBay. That prompted me to buy my first computer and learn to use it. I soon was selling my books on eBay myself.
Opening up to the world of the internet I began receiving email from ardent fans that I never knew existed, telling me of the impact my work had had on their life. This encouraged me even more to return to my art and writing.
“Little Mommy” had been especially popular and in 2008 Random House decided to re-issue it as a Little Golden Book Classic.
"Kitty & Me" is my most recent inspiration, based in part on my daughter's avid love of cats and my own as well, the beauty of feline form and the joy of cat companionship. Published by Christy Ottaviano of Henry Holt, “Kitty & Me” is available nationwide.
