We all have our fantasies while growing up. A Long Ago Place by Donna Betten is a children's book that is dedicated to all mothers who were once girls. This book, despite being a children's book, was narrated from an adult's point of view.

While sitting on the tree and listening to the coos of pigeons, the narrator, a grown woman, is taken aback by how she was a child and how she would always play being a mother. Back then, she worked as a secretary and would always come home to take care of her children. She always fantasized about how she would be the best mother. She dreamt of the mother she would become to Porky, Jemoo, Serena, Lindy Loo, Semolina, Wendy, Suzanna, Pinky, and the one-eyed teddy, Teddy. In her fantasy world, she worked as a secretary. What made her recall this and how has this affected her life as an adult?

While reading this book, I remembered how I used to fantasize about being a doctor. I'm currently a medical student. The mind is the strongest weapon for anyone looking to excel. Whatever we constantly think of, we would achieve if only we didn't allow distractions to set in. Growing up is the best time to channel your thoughts into what you want to become. This book shows the amount of power our thoughts have on us.

The pictures in this were not as clear as they should be. Aside from that, the author was fantastic with everything else. The book was written in a way that would support your reasoning. The storyline wasn't as straightforward as other stories should be, and this made it very unique. Books like this would help develop the reasoning power of children.

I'm rating this book 4 out of 4 stars. The book was exceptionally well-edited. It had no errors. I would recommend it to people who love reading children's books.
