Our girls grow up so fast! The times w/ them can slip away if we let it.This book helps bring that bond even closer between a mother and daughter.We take it in the car or hang out on the couch w/ it. The folks at American Girl have filled it w/ quizzes and questions that allow you to know your daughter on a deeper level. Our favorite pages so far are "What were you doing when you were your daughters age" and "What do you think you'll be doing when you are your mom's age?" They say to tear the pages out of the book and switch answers, these pages have become little treasures I know I'll pull out in years to come.It's also just plain fun! Full of recipes, bookmarks, and coupons, Just Mom and Me makes those mommy daughter times even more special.

My daughter likes to ask me a lot of questions about my life before she was born, particularly my life as a child. "When did you learn to ride a bike?" "What did you want to be when you grew up?" "What was the naughtiest thing you ever did?"

On and on and on...endless questions.

I bought Just Mom and Me because I thought it would be a fun way to answer some of her questions, but to also ask her a few of my own. This book has opened a dialogue between us. I like to keep it near the dinner table and ask her a few questions before we start eating - oftentimes, the whole family jumps in and we all start talking about our favorites, least favorites, memories, fears, etc.


This question and fill-in-the-blank with your answers book is a lot of fun. It would be perfect for a rainy day, long car ride, vacation, sick child, or a snow day. It would also be fun at family reunions or even at a mom and daughter tea party!

This little book is filled with all sorts of things that mothers and daughters will love! My little girl is almost 5 and she is so excited to get out this book and do an activity. So far, we have only done the quizes and a modified version of a food order where she takes down what I want for dinner and she makes it for me like a waitress and chef. It is an inspiration for the busy mom who wants to make their daughter feel special and share a little with each other while they follow the instructions in the book. So far, nothing is complicated, and I have found many activities good for different ages. A good buy and perfect gift to give and share.

My daughter has special needs and this book has very sweet and appropriate activities that she and I can do together. It gets her thinking. I would recommend this to any mother-daughter team.

I bought two of these books...one for my 8 year old daughter and one for my 11 year old daughter. I plan to give them the books for Christmas. I am really looking forward to "doing" the books with them. What a great idea!

This book is amazing. It is hard to find time in our busy lives to be there for our daughters. This book helps make it simple to do those little special things that make for a happy family life.

My daughter loves this book. She really enjoys taking it out a few times a week to look back at our answers and to talk about them. It has created a nice bonding experience for us, which was exactly what I was hoping for.

I got this book for my 9 year old for Christmas and it's fun doing the activities together and just spending time together! She enjoys it because it's just her and I without her little sisters right there joining in too! Anything American Girl is guaranteed to be wonderful and we've never been let down ordering any of their items!

Purchased two of these books to give as gifts to grandchildren. Arrived in a timely manner. Only wished the book was a little larger in size. The mothers were very happy with the activities and anxious to participate with their daughters - interesting and fun "stuff" to do. Would highly recommend this activity book.

My 6 year old daughter loves this book! It is filled with questions to ask each other, ideas for girl time, and all kinds of neat things. I will definitely be buying more of the American Girl books!
