Rating: Summary: Don't Buy the Board Book Edition Review: This 1 star review is for the board book edition -- certainly the harcover gets 5+ stars; it is a classic that should be in every child's library. But why does Random House insist on abridging its catalog to get them to fit into board book format? The board book strips down a story that's already quite simple, and takes all the flavor and joy out of it. Bottom line: if you want to enjoy "Are You My Mother?" go and buy the "complete" hardcover edition. If you need something sturdy that your child is going to teethe on, buy a Zwiekback biscuit.
Rating: Summary: great book Review: my kids just love this book,,,i love to hear them tell the story are you my mother
Rating: Summary: A sweet book for little ones! Review: My 18 month old enjoys this book every night! I've never seen a book capture a young child's attention so completely. The "baby bird" hatches from his egg while the mother is away hunting for food. He wanders from the nest searching everywhere for his "Mama bird." We've made a precious memory making game from reading this story...I'll call out, "Where's my baby bird" and she'll answer, "Here I am!" A very sweet and simple book. Stacy D. McDonald, Editor-in-Chief Homeschooling Today magazine
Rating: Summary: Where's mom? Review: I like this book because it is humorous how the bird asks such weird things if they are its mom. I thought for a second maybe the bird wouldn't find its mom but it did. Also, the little bird in the book is so cute. I think this is a good book a mother should read to a child, so they will always remember who their mom is. This book reminds me of when I'm in a store and I call mom and every lady turns around and you have to search for your mom.
Rating: Summary: Time tested, kid approved Review: Growing up (all those decades ago), this was one of our family's favorite bedtime reads. We'd giggle with anticipation as Mom drew closer to the "You are not my mother, you are a snort!" page then burst into fits of laughter (hey, this was before cable). As a published children's author, I can honestly say that "Are You My Mother?" was one of the core books that inspired me to try my hand at this noble profession. The best part is now I get to read it to my three girls and they love it too. Guaranteed kid pleaser.
Rating: Summary: A Perfect Start Review: This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest books to start a young child on the path toward a life-long love of reading. I remember this book from my own childhood (30+ years ago), and I have read it to all three of my own children when they were each under the age of two. I have always introduced my children to this book with a "dramatic reading." This touch of theatre comes complete with flapping wings, animal noises and a loud, unexpected "SNOOOOOORT!" which brings forth peals of giggles from the children and requests for encores. It is a simple story, with simple and few words, but the pictures are what truly inspire my children. The illustrations are animated and humorous and draw the attention of the children to such a degree that they can sit alone with the book and become engrossed in the pictures! (A great tool for nap time.)
Rating: Summary: CUTENESS Review: This is a super cute picture book for anyone of any age to enjoy. This makes an excellent gift book.. I gave it to my mother (I'm adopted) and she liked it very much... It's the story of a little bird that falls out of his nest and goes from one thing to another asking "are you my mother??" til he finds his rightful mother. Very touching and cute!
Rating: Summary: 3 yr old Son LOVED this book Review: This was a BIG favourite of my 3 yr old son, I had to read it every night for months. I lost track of how many times I had to read it (Not AGAIN, I would groan silently!). Thankfully, my son eventually got tired of hearing it and we could move on to other stories! He could practically read the story back to me by memory.
Rating: Summary: Are you my mother? Review: Are You My Mother? Book Review This book is by P.D. Eastman. A bird falls out of a tree. He tries to find his mom. He doesn't know his mom is getting food for him. His mom does not know that he is looking for her. He went right past her. My three favorite parts are: 1.when he tried to find his Mom, 2. when he ran into some animals, and 3. when the bird thought his mom was a "Snort!" from a truck. I learned that you should not leave home without mom's permission...
Rating: Summary: Good story Review: This book was an easy reader. Yet it has a very good story line. The little bird falls out of his nest to go find his mommy, he can't find her. The little bird comes across all kinds of different animals / things, that he thinks is his mommy, but they turn out not to be. In the end the bird is reunited with his mom. This story makes you sad for the bird in the beginning, but after he finds his mom you feel so happy for the bird. This is a great book!!
