My Momma Likes to Say

This book is wonderful. It is both playful and educational. I am anxious to use it with my students as well as my grandchildren. I also purchased "My Teacher Likes to Say". It is also very good but the idioms are not as common as those illustrated in "My Momma Likes to Say".

A book enjoyable for both children and adults, My Momma Likes to Say includes a fun rhyming verse for youngsters including sayings like "Time flies when you're having fun," "Money doesn't grow on trees," "Hold your horses," and lots more plus a corner aside that explains where the saying comes from and what it means. Also included is a lined page in the back to put sayings your own momma says. Whimsical illustrations round out this one-of-a-kind picture book.

This book is so sweet and full of inspiration. It takes all of those wonderful sayings that we have heard over and over again and gives them a little history and a lot of humor and sentiment. The illustrations are equally wonderful and bring the whole book together. I just love this book and would highly recomend it to a parent.
