This little book is adorable and so relatable. I read this to my daughter and she was so excited to pretend to be Mommy for the night. The illustrations practically glow and the rhymes were so fun to read. It is currently one of my daughter's favorite bedtime books. Recommended By Rose H., Powells.com
