This book is so cute!! The story is great and the illustration is so sweet. I am so glad Karen is doing childrens books now!!

I ordered several sentimental books for my daughter-in-law recently. This was the most "share with your child" of the three. It talks about planning great play dates and how they would feel or what they would do if they got cancelled. Ultimately, they realize that anytime mom spends time with her child is a "mommy date", a time to make a memory. Helps us all to realize we don't need to give our children the moon, we just need to 'take the time to play.'

I am a single mom and this book is so sweet!!!! It is just about a mom and her children so for my children this is everyday life. {Karen also wrote one for 'Daddy Dates'.} I love reading it to my children and they love it!!! My older child now tries to think of 'dates' we can all have...right at home!!!
God is good......he gave us Karen Kingsury and her books!!

This book is wonderful! The cadence of the passages is very melodic. The author blends all the usual things you may do with your kids and then has a very touching ending. It's now one of my must-haves!

This is a wonderful children's book-a mommy/child time read. Karen Kingsbury captures the many different ways a child likes to spend their time, like parks, movies or zoos. She makes silly rhymes that will make your son or daughter all giggly...it did mine! But at the end of the story she captures the true lesson of the book: it's not what you do to have fun, it's about the loving, quality time that mommies spend with their children, cherishing each moment with them.

I give this book recommendation because it not only can make the children smile, it can make the mommies smile,too,when they spend that moment watching their child smiling and loved.

This is a wonderful book that shows your kids that it isn't the money you spend or the events you attend that make memories - it is being together. Love this book!

I would have given this book 3 or 4 stars if not for the illustrations. Mom's in a teeny tanktop on every page with a fairly ample behind... and the daughter wears a half shirt baring her midriff. Why isn't the boy provocative? Such a letdown for a Christian based book... we're supposed to teach our daughters about modesty right? It makes the book have an underlying sexual tone that is completely unnecessary in a children's book geared toward 2-4 year olds.

I don't see why she has to "date" her kids. Just call it a day with mommy.
