In only about 200 words, author P. K. Hallinan conveys the love of children for their mothers. From the opening line, "My mommy and I are as close as can be . . ." to the conclusion, "We're joined at the heart, my mommy and I," this is a gentle story of love expressed between child and mom -- between your child and you.

Very good book for the family. Mother and child has always a great attachment and certainly showed their love and respect. This is fun to read with child since it also have rhymes and funny words. ( )

Hallinan has a family series of board books focusing on different relationships that are important to children, and this is one of them; as the title suggests, it is all about their life with mommy. The pictures are bright and cartoony, very eye-catching for the new reader. The text is in a simple rhyme, nothing fancy or especially well-written, but it avoids the pitfall of forced rhyme and rhythm, which I appreciate. It's always nice to have stories about moms (and dads) to read to your kids, so this was an easy choice for our library. A good book, not great, that is all about special mommy time, ( )
