Nene sounds like a thoughtful child and I'm sure my grandson will like reading about her. Ngozi Edema has a great concept in Mama Daycare. Someone should make it so.

What is not to like about a book that teaches children that parents need to be taken care of as well? This would be an especially enjoyable read for parents of kindergarten-going children.

The cover looks nice! I like that Nene and her mother have a close relationship, and that there is an importance of children caring about their parents. Nice review.

I also noticed that the Father was not mentioned. However I liked the ides of a Mama's Daycare. All mothers need pampering time and again and a real life daycare for mothers would be great.
But the path I’ve chosen has always been the right one, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. :)

Nene's love and concern for her mother are quite touching and function as a valuable lesson to little children. The illustrations are truly beautiful. I'm sure kids would love them. Thanks for your review!

Based on the review this is not something that I would enjoy reading. I don't have any interest in the story. I also don't think that its something that my nieces/nephews would enjoy reading. I will pass on this book.

A children's picture book about a kid going to school for the first time and concerned about her stay-at-home mom sounds caring. I like the colorful illustrations that clearly showed the content.

I think its a beautiful story and one I would enjoy. I love children but it seems Nene isn't ur ordinary child who are usually about themselves and what adults could do for them. This one cares about her mama! My niece's and nephews must read this!

This sounds absolutely adorable and exactly like something a kid this age would think about their parent going to, a "Mama Daycare". I'm sure that children and parents alike will love reading it and that it'll bring them a little closer if they read it together. Thank you for the helpful review.

''Following the book Mama's Daycare by Ngozi Edema''

Nene is going to begin school soon as in the process she is worried as about what kind of life is her mum going to live in after she has begun school. Mean while she finds a solution to her mothers' boredom first she takes her mum to mama's Daycare, on Monday she would go to gym, Tuesday massage, Wednesday reading a book, Thursday would have her nails done & Friday watch a movie then the two days they would go to the park & they also would watch a movie together.
