I Love Mummy Every Day is a young children’s board book about children appreciating their mums for the things they do such a play with them or give them cuddles.
The book is very short at just 20 pages long but long enough to keep little ones interested. Being a board book it also isn’t easily destroyed, so whilst they might not be able to read it to themselves, children can play with the book and look at the illustrations of all the mums with their sons or daughters, without you worrying that they will rip it or it becoming unreadable.
It is brightly coloured with amazing illustrations that draw the eye and hopefully children will enjoy looking at the different families. It also has a circular cut-out section on each page that gets smaller as you go through the book.
My only little niggle was some of the wording, such as ‘Mummy is my anchor’. I doubt that young children will understand what this means, especially given that the book is aimed at children aged between 1-5, and they possibly won’t appreciate the full meaning of the phrase even when told what it means.
Overall it is a sweet, lovely book that is filled with happiness and a joyful celebration of mums.
It was a cute book with really cute illustrations, but I thought it would be more of a Mother's Day book. It's more of celebrating moms everyday, which is fair and an awesome thing to do, but I thought they would at least mention Mother's Day. This book was advertised on Baker & Taylors as a book for Mother's Day, but I would disagree. It fits better as a regular book about loving moms everyday.
