Your Mommy Was Just Like You is a very sweet book and perfect for early childhood. The books story seems to be being told from the grandmother to her granddaughter. She describes all of the different things the young girls mother used to do as a child, and how it was just like the way the little girl does it now. I think it was great how it described that sometimes the mother as a child was good, but sometimes she was bad, but the grandmother still loved her. It shows the grandchild that no matter what she will always be loved, and it also connects the granddaughter to the mother. ( )

Your Mommy Was Just Like You by Kelly Bennett
I wanted this book particularly for our youngest grandson. When I started reading it many memories were brought to life as yes my
daughter did have her favorite stuffed animal and yes she knows all their names and the kitty cat had to go with her wherever she went.
Her son has the kitty cat now among hundreds of other animals that he assures me he knows what each and every name is!
Especially like the part where the child is in school and does not know all the letter nor all the numbers but practice helped.
After reading this one I knew I had to go and buy the Daddy book which I have done.

I won the book contest at Jean's site: http://www.jeanbooknerd.com/2013/05/your-mommy-was-just-like-you-by-kelly.html
and Kelly Bennett sent me the prize(S) Her FB page is here: https://www.facebook.com/kellybennettbooks
Got bookmarkers, postcards, signed book and pamphlet of her books and school visits, etc and a poster with Mommy and Daddy books.
Thanks so much! ( )

Grandma tells baby all the many ways her mother was like her, the way she looked and the way she acted.

“Your mommy was bouncy and
twirly-whirly.
Just like you.
She loved to play games,
but she didn’t always win.
Sometimes she got hurt.
I’d bandage her scrapes and
give her extra lovies.
After, she always
wanted to play again.” ( )
