Summary: Child abandonment is not an appropriate topic for kid's
Review: This story is really not appropriate for young children. The premise is very frightening. A little bird spends the entire book searching for his mother and comes face to face with a pretty scary "snort". He does end up reunited with his mom in the end, but the main storyline plants the seeds for plenty of nightmares and anxiety. There are many better children's books out there.

Summary: A Beloved Part of Our Family
Review: My son is a big, hulking, almost-16-year-old, but to this day, when he sees construction equipment, he says, "Look, Mom! It's a Snort!""Are You My Mother" was the book my son never tired of. All through his early toddler years, it was his bedtime favorite, his naptime favorite, a comfort when he was tearful, and his best friend. How many times did he curl up on my lap with his blankie and his thumb while I rocked him and read this book? The "plot" concerns a baby bird who hatches while the mother bird is out of the nest. Baby sets out to find his mother, and asks everything and everyone he sees, "Are You My Mother?" The "Snort" reference comes when the baby bird asks a huge piece of digging equipment, and..."The big thing just said SNORT!" This is what my son waited for throughout the book...he laughed every single time. And still does. In the end, the birdie finds his mommy. The perfect, secure ending for a small child who wants reassurance before bed, or any time. This book is a classic. My son still has it, and I know he will read it to his own children some day. I hope I am there to see it.

Summary: simple and sweet
Review: While the story is not complex by any means, it's loads of fun for both adults and kids. Every kid, and most adults, can relate to little bird. Who hasnt been lost as a child? What with the happy ending and all, its family fun all around.

Summary: Wonderful story
Review: This is my daughter's absolutely favorite book. She's only one year old, but I've been reading it to her since she was 7 months old. Now we read it together all the time. The story is simple and short enough for a toddler to follow.

Summary: a "got to have it for growing up" book
Review: I had this one as a kid, and I will always carry a copy of it with me throughout my life, wherever I may be. It is a necessity for every child's bookshelf!

Summary: Simple and Engaging
Review: Simple storyline with a happy ending. My 2-1/2 year old son has enjoyed this book since we bought it. He loves to "read" the responses to the lost little bird's incessant "Are You My Mother?" My only peeve is the boring colors.

Summary: My toddler loves this book!
Review: This is the sweetest book! I'm not sure who loves it more, me or my daughter. The illustrations are simple yet colorful and eye catching enough for my active 17 month old. This is one of the only books she will sit still for. It really captivates her and holds her attention. I recommend every mom adding this book to their child's collection!

Summary: Happy Mother's Day
Review: My son is now 28 and his email to me on Mother's Day this year started with, "Are You My Mother?" which brought the biggest smile to my face! Like so many of the other reviewers here, we read this book night after night and it still is a point of reference for us after many years. It instantly brings back memories of shared reading time and his first efforts at learning to read. I pulled it out of my drawer and read the inscription to Josh and me from my best friend dated 1974. Sadly, she died last year but her gift endures.

Summary: My two year old twins favorite book!
Review: The first time I read this book I was skeptical if my kids would like it. After all, the cover isn't exciting and it looked like an old book. Boy was I ever wrong. They hung on every word and loved it so much that they have asked me to read it every day since at least once. My son even said it was his favorite book! This is the only book that they even talk about when we are not reading. A classic book for toddlers!
