About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

This revised, re-illustrated version of a 1955 book presents lots of interesting pictures showing a multitude of mothers in both conventional jobs (teacher, bank teller) and less conventional ones (assembly line worker, air traffic controller). The opening and closing pages feature women in nurturing roles: "All mommies loving the best of all to be your very own mommy, and coming home to YOU!" Notwithstanding the exhaustive repetition of the word "mommies," this genial paean to working motherhood should interest preschoolers with its soothing tone. Fernandes's mothers (and their children) are all given distinct personalities and traits: multiethnic, multitalented, plain or pretty or overweight, all are cheerful, committed workers. Daddies at Work is a companion title. Ages 2-5.
