Product Description

Product Description

The Little Big Book for Moms is packed with all the fun, magic, and wonder of early childhood in a beautifully designed, chunky little package. Illustrated throughout with early 20th-century work by artists like Jessie Wilcox Smith and Ida Waugh, this is a delicious treasure for the expectant mother to savor in anticipation, and for the new mother to share with her little ones.
Mother Goose, the brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, e.e. cummings, E.B. White, J.M. Barrie, Maya Angelou, Shel Silverstein, Ogden Nash and Lewis Carroll are like old friends bearing gifts of song, verse, and tales for the new child. Humpty Dumpty, Little Red Riding Hood, Peter Pan, and Goldilocks are but a few of the other well-loved characters who visit these pages.
And there's more! Mother and child will delight in activities like finger games and hand shadows. There are recipes for making play dough, soap bubbles, chicken soup, and applesauce. And, when the little ones are finally asleep and mom needs reminding of how adorable they really are, there are excerpts celebrating children and motherhood by such authors as Susan Cheever and Anne Lamott.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'MUST HAVE' Book for New Parents, Jun 13 2004
By A Customer
I was given this book as a shower gift and didn't pay much attention to it right away. As a new mom I was laughing with my mother one day that I was so out of touch with children's nursery rhymes and songs. The only song I could remember when singing my son to sleep was 'Frosty the Snowman'! : ) Mom then reminded me that I had this book and once I opened it I realized what a treasure I had.

This book is packed with wonderful poems, ALL the great stories from 'Snow White' to 'Jack and the Beanstalk' plus tons of ideas for crafts and recipes. It has everything in one small package. I plan on giving it as a shower gift to all of my pregnant girlfriends and have purchased all of the other books that the author has written. Many of them are holiday focused (Christmas & Halloween for example). I wish she would add to the series with at least two more about Easter and Thanksgiving and I think it would be complete! This is a must have for all new or seasoned parents!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brings back memories, Feb 4 2004
By csmum "minieandc" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
As a first-time mom, my husband bought me this book for my birthday! I absolutely love it!! The illustrations are beautiful and the variety of poems, stories & recipes are great. I'm glad the lyrics & hand motions to a lot of children's songs are included since I forgot most of them. It brought back memories of the songs I used to sing as a kid. I highly recommend this book.
