Summary

First released in 2000, THE LITTLE BIG BOOK FOR MOMS was the first Little Big Book published by Welcome Books (Christmas and Love were published by William Morrow). Moms has since gone back to press eleven times, putting more than 300,000 copies currently into print. Like all the rest that have followed, THE LITTLE BIG BOOK FOR MOMS is chock full of all the activities, stories, poems, songs, fairy tales, nursery rhymes, finger games, and recipes every mom needs to know. Illustrated with early twentieth-century artwork by artists such as Jessie Willcox Smith and Ida Waugh, Moms is a welcome treasure trove for any new mother to discover and share with her little ones. In Moms, the reader will find classics old and new, including Mother Goose, the brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, e.e. cummings, E.B. White, J.M. Barrie, Shel Silverstein, Ogden Nash and Lewis Carroll. And that's not all. Mother and child will delight in fun activities such as finger games and hand shadows; there are recipes for making play dough, soap bubbles, and chicken soup; and when the little ones are finally asleep, mom will enjoy literary excerpts celebrating children and motherhood by such thoughtful and evocative authors as Susan Cheever and Anne Lamott.
