Nene is a true angel of a girl. I completely agree with your sentiments. Thank you! :tiphat:

This looks like a very cute book to read with the little ones.
Great review!
I agree. Both parents should be equally involved, as far as possible of course. It's definitely a great read for the little ones. Thank you!

This is a refreshing theme away from the usual day care that targets kids. At least the kids can learn that their moms need to relax as well. Thanks for the educative review.

A daycare for mothers! It sounds so therapeutic, I would love to attend one. This is a very creative concept for a children's book, well done to the author. Thanks for sharing.

If I were a mother, I'd definitely want one too! The author definitely thought out of the box with this one. Thank you. :D

A children's picture book about a kid that goes to school for the first time and worried about her stay-at-home mom sounds sweet. I love the idea of Mama's Daycare! Odd that Nene's father is never mentioned. Illustrations entice kids' books, so it is good that the illustrations are great. That the book is well-edited is another plus. I am not the target audience, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your review!

This was an incredibly adorable story that had me smiling or laughing as I read it, clearly a 4 out of 4 stars book.

After reading this review I promised myself to get this book for my son. He really loved it, every day he reminds me of something that Nene did that I just had to read it for myself so as to relate. Thanks for the good review.

I liked the colorful illustrations that clearly showed the content. This would be a very good book for beginner readers or for parents to read to their children. Nene is concerned with what her mama will do while she goes to kindergarten. Her solution is for her mom to go to Mama's Daycare where she can exercise, read, and get massages.
