This is a cute book to read with kids, getting them to guess what Mommy might do next (and sometimes unexpected!). But, this is not a book I could see myself reading to my young daughters more than once or twice. Cute pictures but would be nice if it had more. Either more sounds, more actions, or more guessing on what Mommy is going to do.
This book was given to me an an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in an exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
Carrying on from the 'What is Baby going to do'. Another book that will stimulate little minds and will engage imagination and creativity. Perfect for adult and youngsters to develop skills and spend time together.
East to read, colourful book.
This is a cute board book for toddlers about a person who is so important, mommy. What does she do all day? Lift the flaps to find out. Sometimes the answer will be a bit whimsical as when mommy has lots of laundry to do. With bright and appealing illustrations, this title should be enjoyed by the youngest book lovers.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.
This was okay but falls short in not having a cohesive story line. A bummer since it has adorable illustrations.
I was sent an advance reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
This is a cute and simple book for toddlers about things a Mummy does and what they mean, but they may not always mean what they think it'll mean as mummys can be fun with chores too.
The last scenario gives the child a hint as to mummy sometimes needs 5 minutes to herself.
I liked the idea behind this book as my daughter is two and a half and follows me everywhere I go, and I liked the ending but I still don't think she would get the hint! I liked the images and that the pages would open as a flap book too - that is a nice touch but not one that we would read over and over in our house as we do with some books. 3 stars from me.
This is a sweet book that documents what Mommies do. They are busy with life: cooking, going off to work, repairing broken things, and doing stacks of dirty laundry, just to name a few. Mommies also love to act silly sometimes like when they done a lion's mask and roar at the top of their lungs. They love to take some time out of their busyness to reboot with a hot drink and a good book... five minutes peace is always a welcome timeout for busy Mommies.
Each spread has a sturdy flap that little ones can flip open and discover the answer to "What is Mommy going to do?" if they having trouble guessing what action Mommy may be taking.
The flip-up-flaps help to aid hand-eye co-ordination and a question on each page prompts conversation between parent and child. This bright, engaging board book is the perfect exploration of the activities that make up a parent and toddler’s day. A fun book for that inquisitive age group and highly recommended.
Thank you to netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Boy, can I ever relate to this book. A super simple book about some fun aspects motherhood. Mountains of laundry, a hot cup of coffee and silly escapades. A flip book of fun. Vibrant pictures and simple language make this book fun for younger children.
A great little children's book that explains to little ones what mummy does when they are at nursery, school, in bed etc
What is Mommy Going to Do? is a fun way of reminding your little ones of all the things you get up to all day long. As I spend the majority of my time with my daughter at the moment, there are a lot of things that she'll definitely recognise me doing, but I loved the fact that some of the reveals weren't exactly what you'd expect - there's definitely a lot of effort put into making this interesting for parents as well. My daughter was absorbed by both What is Mommy Going to Do? and What is Baby Going to Do? and I think I'm going to have to get hold of some physical copies of them: she is a huge fan of lift-the-flap books, so I think getting to turn the flaps for herself will make this a favourite.
