My Mommy's Tote

Cuter than a button, My Mommy's Tote is a delicious interactive gift for mothers and their kids. Created by P. H. Hanson, whose previous books — My Granny's Purse and My Grandpa's Briefcase — this is a die-cut cornucopia stuffed with marvelous adventures and surprises, endearingly written and offering incredible value. There's the clock with hands that move. A write-on wipe-off board and marker. A maze to navigate. Two spin wheels for learning the alphabet and numbers. Mommy's laptop and cell phone, planner and wallet (a magnet for every little kid — this one has a removable credit card). Plus a key ring and photos, a real handkerchief, and an intriguing mystery: Can you find the missing red sock? In all, there are more than 75 objects, 30 activities, and seven spreads where things lift up, slide out, unfold, flip open, turn, and beguile.

This mommy's a treasure. She's a mommy on the go. She's a glamorous mommy. She's a quirky mommy who gets down on the floor and plays games and draws pictures. And she's a mommy who always tries to do what's right, with a sense of humor: "My mommy always says, 'Eat your peas,' 'Brush your teeth,' and 'Blow your nose.' My mommy says she sounds just like her mommy."
