Of course this book is outdated. But it was one of my favorite books as a child. The illustrations are adorable, and I memorized it at a very very early age. I have my first copy and just got one for my teenage daughter. For those who criticise the material, should we do away with ALL books that talk about how things used to be? No Mary Poppins, no Little House, etc. What a sad world it would be! Little Golden Books are *awesome* and should be treasured.

No, no, no! This book belongs in a time capsule from sixty years ago, not on my daughter's bookshelf! Little Mommy is a story about a little girl who pretends to be a mom. She takes care of her kids, does the laundry, feeds the kids dinner, and puts them to bed. The "dad" character takes the car and goes to his doctor job all day while "Mommy" is stuck at home doing everything else. Awww, how fucking sweet. I understand everyone has warm and fuzzy feelings about this book from when they read it in

I understand everyone has warm and fuzzy feelings about this book from when they read it in 1967, but this is not what I want my daughter's play to be modeled after. One real little mommy's opinion: Books like this should be relegated to museums. Even my husband agrees this is going in the fire pit as kindling.

This book is wonderful. No liberal, crazy women's lib crap is going to change my mind on the book. Yes, it is old fashioned. Yes it portrays a "stay at home mommy" and working daddy, but I love it all the same. As a SAHM, I want my kids to know how hard I work at home. As I enter the working world as my children grow older I hope they know just how much I did around here, and this book doesn't skimp on proving the powerful role of a mama. I just love the bond the little girl has w/ her dolls, he

This was simply my favorite book of all time. It was written in the 50's or early 60's (yes, I'm old) and you can definitely tell with the roles it portrays as Mommy versus Daddy (hence why it might have been out of production for many years!). But the illustrations are beautiful. If you have girly-girls, they will love this book. Luckily, I still have my copy from 1968 and my kids have enjoyed this book.

This children's book is about a young girl who takes on the traditional role of being a mommy. She takes care of the children and teaches them, does the laundry, etc. Sharon Kane wrote and illustrated Little Mommy in 1967 which explains why this little girl does all the things a "mommy" would do; times were different then. This book can be used to help children break the stereotypes that come along with their gender. It can show that girls do not have to fulfill all of these roles just because of her gender, BUT if that's what she wants then she can. It can also be a book that children can relate to (especially if the tasks described in the book are tasks their mothers do). This book can also be used to teach rhyming words, particularly ones that don't have the same endings ("I wash the clothes in my washing machine. I scrub them with soap and rinse them clean").

This was my daughter's favorite childhood book. At one time, I could recite this book by rote because I read it to her so many times. She later read it to her daughters. It is a Little Golden Book and was given to her by her grandmother (my Mother). The price was $0.29 in the late 1960's and 1970's and is very special to us.

The little girl looked like my daughter.

I love the illustrations. They bring out the innocence of childhood play. The rhyming text helps the kids to memorize the words on the page. Many girls want to be like their mommy. In my case, I get to stay at home and take care of the kids and the home. This book is a good picture of what happens during my day. My 2 year old loves having this book read to her. She gathers her dolls around her and reads the book to them like a little mommy.

One of my children wanted to read a Mother's Day book, and this was one of very few I could think of. I've read it so many times to them over the years that I have pieces of it memorized. Even though the pictures are very out-dated, I think it's interesting that mothers today often do much the same things. I have memories of my little sister having our own mom read us this book every day.

This was one of my favorite books as a young child. The cover of my book was a little girl with long blonde hair holding her doll and sitting in a rocking chair. The little girl looked like me and I had a rocking chair just like the one on the cover. I thought it was a biography about me and would reenact the entire story!

My 2-year old son likes this book. He likes to point out familiar objects in the pictures. The pictures are good and not too abstract for him to recognize, even if some of the items are quite old-fashioned. He is already familiar with household management, but there are also a few scenes of unfamiliar activity for him to consider as well.

This is a nice story, written and illustrated by Sharon Kane, that will be just about perfect for those children who are beginning to show interest in caring for doll children as their own. The drawings are well done and fit the story perfectly.

I read this book hundreds of times as a little girl and dreamed of being a mommy. I loved my dolls. I don’t think this book is relevant now or should be encouraged to read, unless they rewrite it as Little Daddy, but this book was everything to me.

Extremely outdated. For an era gone by. I returned it. Purchased for my granddaughter. My daughter would cringe if I ever gave it to her.

My 4yo loves to read this book over and over. It shows a little girl doing all the things her mommy does. My dd really wanted a small stove that works like the little girl in the book had, lol.

Easily my favourite book as a child (growing up in the 2000s and 2010s). Still think about it to this day. I asked for an old fashioned laundry bucket to do my doll’s laundry in when I was little because of this book. Not super appropriate with today’s views on gender norms, though.

I love it! I also love being a mommy! Just like the mommy in this book. The only thing better is being a Grandma.
