Author: Guest When Mama Comes Home Tonight has become as important a sleeptime ritual for my inafnt son and I as Goodnight Moon! I particularily love reading the page "We'll read your favorite stories in our cozy Rocking Chair." as he and I cuddle up in our rocking chair. The illustrations are beautiful and soft. Perfect for setting the bedtime mood. I give this book to all my friends and family who are working moms. Thank you to Eileen Spinelli and Jane Dyer. Bravo.
Author: Guest I LOVE this book! I loved it even more when my 2 1/2 year old "read" it to me.
The book tells a story of what Mom will do with her baby when she comes home from work. Like "Dance down the hall" and "make a cup of tea and give baby a sip". My daughter tries to re-inact the scenes. One of the scenes is of Mommy leaving on a small light at bedtime. My daughter asked about her "small light". We don't normally read books in my rocking chair, but she saw that in the book and wanted to start. We now dance (or fly) down the hall.
Author: Guest This is my absolute favorite book to read to my son and daughter. Until recently I worked full time and went to school 3/4 time. During the work week I got home at 8:00 at night and had an hour to spend with my 3 and 5 year old. We would read most of the time and they asked for this book every night. My son in particular is a mommy's boy and he really missed seeing me everyday. He could relate to the special things you get to do when "mama" comes home. This book is pretty short, and simple. The illustrations are beautiful. This book also makes a great baby shower gift. I give it 5+ stars!
Author: Guest I think I love it even more than my children do (and, like one reader said, it makes me weepy, too). I don't do everything this Mama does when she gets home, but I love that she's shown doing a chore (mending) as well as playing with her child. I especially love that we see them at night--relatively, I spend so few daylight hours with my kids. This book is more reflective of our life than most of the books we read. And it's just so sweet--a comfy-cozy good read.
Author: Guest This became my nearly two year old daughter's favorite book about a few months ago and we have read it many, many, many times a day since then.
It's an easy book to personalize as you read it, and I ad lib while reading it to match the day's events. It's suitable for both girls and boys.
Every working Mum should have this book on hand to help reconnect at the end of the day.
