Three Little Golden Books about mothers, bound together in one gold-spined hardcover. Mommy Stories collects Baby Dear, We Help Mommy and Mommies: All About the Work They Do, so a child gets three read-alouds in one book and a grown-up gets the stories they may remember from their own childhood.
Baby Dear, first published in 1962, opens the book. A little red-haired girl is given a brand-new baby doll on the very day her parents bring her new sibling home from the hospital, and from then on she does everything Mommy does. Mommy changes her baby, and she changes hers. Mommy bathes her baby, and she bathes Baby Dear. Eloise Wilkin painted it, and her soft, detailed pictures are a big part of why Golden Books became an icon. She also illustrated We Help Mommy, from 1959, and the collection closes with Mommies: All About the Work They Do, written by Margo Lundell with pictures by Paul Meisel.
Eighty pages, made for ages 2 to 5. It is a natural Mother's Day gift, and a sweet one for a child about to become a big sister or brother.
