[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Mama's Daycare" by Ngozi Edema.]

Most children look forward to their first day of kindergarten and little Nene is no exception. As she counts down the days, one question comes to mind: What will become of her mother? After all, until now, she's been spending most of her time taking care of Nene. Nene decides the best solution is to send her mother to Mama's Daycare, located just across from the kindergarten. There, her mother can read in peace, get a massage, gym, and do other exciting things to pass the time.

Mama's Daycare is a children's book by Ngozi Edema. Edema is a stay-at-home mom, writer, and entrepreneur. The book is 24 pages long and includes colorful illustrations. It's told from Nene's point of view and follows her story as she gets ready for kindergarten. The book is suitable for elementary readers and children who are getting comfortable reading longer books.

I thoroughly enjoyed Mama's Daycare. I was blown away by the quality of the illustrations in the book. The illustrations are not only eye-catching but are also appropriate for the events of the story. They provide a clear picture of how Nene, her mother, and their surroundings look.

It's quite clear that Nene and her mother have a close relationship and both care about each other. I could relate to this because I have a close relationship with my mother. In fact, I found the entire concept of the book endearing. This is because it emphasizes the importance of children also caring about their parents. However, Nene's father is never mentioned in the book, and the author offers no explanation for his absence. Nonetheless, the book didn't feel incomplete because of this.

There is nothing I disliked about this book. It is well-formatted and edited. I only noticed a single error, where a word was incorrectly capitalized. Otherwise, I have no reason not to give Mama's Daycare the perfect rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I highly recommend it for children between the ages of four and ten.

What a cute idea for a story! I also love that the book focuses on children caring about their parents. How sweet! Thanks for your review!

If only there really was something called Mama's daycare. I know many mothers would love that! Nevertheless, it sounds like a fabulous story. I'm so glad that the illustrations are quality. Thanks!

This sounds like a cute book! I'd love to see the illustrations you describe. Also I wish their was a mama's daycare in real life. I would enjoy someone taking care of me from time to time.

I love the idea the author has come up with for this story. How original! The illustrations are a nice, positive element as well. Thanks for this excellent review! Cheers:)

Now I want to find a "Mama's Daycare" to attend! This is such a cute idea and a lovely sentiment for a children's book. Thanks for the wonderful review!

What a sweet idea. This sounds like a great book.

Nene is a very caring little girl. She wants to be sure that her Mom is safe and well while she is at school. This book could bring about good conversations with parents. Thanks for the review!

This sounds like a really interesting story, and considering it's packed with illustrations, it's an added plus! Thank you for an amazing review!

It is said whenever books fail to mention the fathers. I believe it is often seen as the mothers should in charge of the children's education, and that is simply not true.
This looks like a very cute book to read with the little ones.
Great review!

Quite cute indeed. And yes, kids should learn from a young age of the importance of caring about their parents. Thanks for stopping by!

I agree that it's quite original. The illustrations were indeed of a high standard, in contrast to many other children's books. Thanks for the kind words.
