Americancivilwar.com Review |
|
This is the classic from which many of our staff first learned to read, starting us on a path of unremitting bibliophilia. Are You My Mother? follows a confused baby bird who's been denied the experience of imprinting as he asks cows, planes, and steam shovels the Big Question. In the end he is happily reunited with his maternal parent in a glorious moment of recognition. |

Great beginner "MaMa Book" |
|
This is the one of my 19 month's old favorite book. He will point to it and say "Mama Book" and will sit still listening to me reading this book from the beginning to the end. He loves the pictures and Snort looks like Jack (from the Thomas the tank engine) so he is very happy to see Snort. This is an excellent book to introduce a toddler to reading. |

Great Children's Book |
Are You My Mother?
This is a great book for young children. I loved it as a child and my grandsons love it.

Adoptive Daughter loves it |
|
We adopted a little girl from abroad. She is still a toddler and too young to discuss adoption. We got her this book to see how she would react. It has become her favorite that she MUST have read to her every night. We feel it is helping resolve issues she might have with being adopted. She especially likes that she can take control of the little bird herself and move it through the scenes to its mother. |

Two boys' review: It is just a bedtime book, not a social message |
The years haven't been kind to this book. The illustrations are somewhat dated and, judging by the other reviews here on Americancivilwar, there's an angry contingent of parents with abandonment issues who would rather you skip this book for a guide to raise Indigo Children.
I'm just here to review a bedtime book for my two sons.
More than with most books, I really have to act as I read this book to keep their attention. I'm the cow with a nasally Blue Blood voice, I'm the dog with a droopy drawl, and I'm the snort...SNORT!
My boys like this book and we read it regularly at bedtime. Their bookshelf holds roughly 80-100 books and P.D. Eastman occupies two titles in our collection -- A Fish Out of Water and Are You My Mother?

An Absolute Favorite!! |
|
This was one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books when I was little. I am 24 now and I still have my book (and yes its falling apart). I am keeping it to read to my kids someday. Cute story about a baby bird who goes looking for his mother who went out to get some food. He meets all sorts of things along the way and asks them all "Are you my mother?". I saw another review about this book saying that it was "Scarry" and I can't help but roll my eyes. I never once thought the book was scarry when I was little nor did my brother. I am sure your kids will love it as much as so many other generations have. Hey it's Dr. Seuss, you just can't go wrong! :) |
