mommies at work

Mommies At Work is a fabulous book that has become a favorite bedtime read for my two and a half year old daughter. As a working mom, it's great to find a book that so positively depicts mommies doing all kinds of different jobs. Any child with a mom who works outside the home will find something to relate to in this book because it focuses on the important things that moms do to show their love for their kids. Mommies At Work communicates to a child that no matter what kind of job a mom does, her favorite thing is"..coming home to you." This little story reminds me of a similar yet more sentimental take on the subject of working moms - When Mama Comes Home Tonight. Mommies At Work is a nice book that lets kids know that their working mom loves them a lot! It is refreshing that this story is remarkably free of any particular political agenda regarding working mothers which is as it should be for the benefit of the children who read it.
