my 8 month old LOVES this book

I have been reading this book to my baby since she was about 5 months old. I've always loved it - I think the poem is really cute and just so representative of how I feel about my baby. My baby, Sofia, has grown to absolutely love this book. She now squeels in delight and says Mama Mama when I turn each page. It is seriously one of the sweetest most wonderful things I do with her. I believe this book is a MUST HAVE for bedtime. I think its so much better than Goodnight Moon and Where's Baby's Bellybutton.

The best book I have EVER encountered for babies and bonding

This book is beautiful - the words and rhythym are so peaceful and loving and the pictures are soothing and life-like. This book embraces the delicate and eternal bond between baby and mom. I know this sounds like an awful lot for a [price] board book, but believe me, it is amazing.

The Best

I received this book (and the Papa, Papa book) as a gift when my daughter was born. I read the books to her almost every day. The poem is absolutely delightful! Especially the last part -- I almost cry every time I read it (and I'm not generally sappy).Buy it!

Beautiful book!

This is a lovely book. My 6 month old son really enjoys hearing "Mama Mama" before bedtime. The language and rhythm are very soothing. I found the book to be particularly touching because it describes a style of mothering to which I aspire. "Mama Mama" is a moving tribute to Attachment Parenting. It is wonderful to see a book about mommies and babies that depicts nursing, rather than bottles. Babywearing and cosleeping are also described.This is a book that will evoke warm feelings for both mamas and babies!

You will read it over and over

My twin daughters and I love this book. The simple poetry and the beuatiful pictures capture the attention of my little ones every time.
