I use to own an original copy of this book. However, many years of moving and the book was left behind - somewhere. I've researched and researched for years now and I'm so happy to find the book in print again. As it should be as a: Little Golden Book CLASSIC!
The book opens with, "This is my house and I am the mommy. My children are Annabelle, Betsy and Bonnie." and sets out to tell a story of domestic life as we were taught in the late 60's through the 70's. Our role as a woman was to become a "Mommy" all fully domesticated and long for a husband to take care of us and build a family with. [Not at all who I turned out to be at 32 *haha*]
But the memories remain of my "Mommy" reading me this story bringing back a wonderful time cuddled up next to her in my bed as she would read me to sleep each night. So, I've decided I'm going to give this copy to her for her birthday, in the hope that someday when I have a daughter she will read it to her.
I'm so pleased to see it back in print as original copies of the book go for $75 dollars or more via auction sites.
I haven't received my copy yet but it looks wonderful from the photo on Amazon. The hardcover seems to be keeping to those original muted greens and blues but still vibrant enough to recapture time.
A great addition to your Golden Book collection or just to bring back memories as I know there is a cult following of this wonderful children's classic.

This was my favorite book when I was a little girl - I still have my original copy but it's a little beat up, to say the least! I was so glad to find this still in print, so I could keep a copy for my daughter (and hopefully my granddaughters). Feminism be damned - this book is just the best! :)

Cute book
My 3 year old granddaughter looked through the book and like hearing the story the first time but it isn't one of the books she asks to have read to her over and over.

I love this book. It's a classic and it validates the stay-at-home-mommy without being dated or culturally insignificant. My girls love it. So sweet. Read more

Little Mommy Golden Book
I sent this to my great grandchildren in another state. Their mother reads it to them frequently. It went along with dolls and bottles I also sent to them.
