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 feelin More...

Of course this book is outdated.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.

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 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!

Maybe because I've always loved dolls but this short read is so sweet for little girls. The little blond haired girl looks after her three cherished dolls as if they were living, breathing, human beings. I think this may perhaps teach young children responsibilities, maturity, and how they can help their own mommy and daddy around the house. I love the vintage feel, and the old fashioned items.

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.

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. She now has her original book that I had kept for her through the years. It was obviously written during a time that the men went to work and the women stayed at home More...

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. I have also pre-ordered (it will be out in April) two more for only $3 on Amazon for k More...

My all time favorite book when I was little! I have an old copy that is just like the one I had when I was little, I won't let my kids touch it.
