Mommy takes away the chill with warm milk, a quilt and arms to fill…

This rhythmical bedtime story reminds us of the ups and downs of being little.

Praise for Mommy Takes Away...

In School District 59 Peace River South, there will be a copy of Sharlene Weingart´s "Mommy Takes Away" in every StrongStart and kindergarten classroom. This lovely, simple story is delightfully told and illustrated. It is aimed directly at the heart of a child. It is a perfect pre-literacy resource rich with rhyme and wonderful imagery.

Mommy Takes Away is a story that young children will instantly connect with. The story and the illustrations will appeal to both parents and children who will surely recognize themselves in this delightful picture book. I wish this book had been available when I was children’s librarian, I would definitely have used it at story time.

Your book is a huge hit in our house, Jaden read it to me yesterday obsessing over the cats in every picture, then read it again today. Kianna read it to me too and had to figure out what Katie was doing in every picture and why, and NO ONE is allowed to touch "her" book. We may need a second copy... Jaden saw the sneak peek in this book and is excited for the next one.

My 4 and 5 year old daughters can´t get enough!...they LOVE it! They bring it to me several times during the day and want me to read it...they´ve never done this before with any other book.

A cute little rhyme about what all little children go through! My daughter loves it, and likes to sit down and read it to herself!

Mommy Takes Away is one of my daughter´s favourite bedtime stories. She can relate to every page in the book!
