A childhood favorite!
I love this book. It is a childhood favorite, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who looks back fondly at not only the story but the pictures, too. When I was young there were not alot of picture books like they abound today, so it wasn't as easy to find books that were stimulating in that way. It's written simply so any child will understand the problem presented and the author writes with obvious tenderness, but also allows the child to explore dangerous elements within the story at the same time. I love it, not only because of the cute pictures and the tender story, but that it has such a happy and delightful end!
This is a winner every way you look at it, I think.Lire l'avis complet...
A MUST READ FOR EVERY MOTHER AND EVERY CHILD!!!
Loved all the Eastman books but this one especially because it talks of a baby that cannot find its mother and goes about asking all kinds of things ARE YOU MY MOTHER? Little bird asks all he can see from dogs to farm equipment. I remember reading this book to my own two babies and it brings out how important a Mother is. Children love to read it as they get older and always loved hearing it read to them. Puts the importance of knowing who ones Mother is on every living thing. It is wonderful and sad at the same time. I recommend this book for all Mothers to read to their own children and I recommend that all children read this book to themselves. It is an easy understanding for both adults and children alike.Lire l'avis complet...
Adorable book for toddlers
This was my oldest son's favorite book when he was a little boy. We read it so often I had it memorized and it finally fell apart after several years of repeated readings. So when I found out he and his wife were having their own baby boy I had to get a copy just for him. I wrote a note on the inside cover and used it in place of a greeting card for the baby shower.Lire l'avis complet...

Our Family Tradition--reading this great book!
I bought this book because it was the FIRST book I learned to read--and always remembered it as such. I passed this tradition down and my daughters enjoyed me reading this to them and reading this book to me. So, I am teaching my grand daughter how to read with this wonderful story as well.
This book holds up well over time--a contemporary book to compare it with that would have a similar style is "Is Your Mama a Llama?".
In this book a baby bird hatches and through a comedy of errors searches for his mother. It is a teaching aid for its simple text and engaging pictures.
The story is so good and yet even a non-reader can surmise the story through the pictures. After being read the story a child can re-tell the story easily
because it is that memorable and endearing--and funny--it sticks in a child's memory--encouraging them to be able to feel good about learning.
I, my daughters, and now grandaughter loved the silliness and yet heartwarming story. We always loved the "Snort"--who was not his mother--and the end when the baby bird can tell his mother who is NOT his mother and who is his mother and what he is a BIRD!
Very good book, and makes children learn to read and laugh and makes adults remember what installs the love of reading is the sheer joy and adventure found in the pages of atories like this.Lire l'avis complet...
Great bedtime story
I read this at least once daily to my young daughter. It was fun to use different voices for all the different creatures in the story. After many readings, she knew it by heart and would have fun doing the voices herself. Now, many years later, she requested this book to read to her own baby daughter. I was happy to oblige!Lire l'avis complet...

A perfect book for parents and children to share
I loved this book as a child, now it's one of my 6 year old son's favorites as well! He often chooses it as one of his bedtime stories.
The illustrations are fun and well drawn. The story is written to be mostly easy for a new reader to sound out, a few words that are a bit more challenging, however none of the words are too difficult.
If your budget is only equipped for a very few beginner books, this one should be included. It is equally appropriate and interesting for boys and girls. The messages of the story are positive with nothing scary or controversial. Best of all, it's as enjoyable for your children as well as yourself.Lire l'avis complet...
"Are You My Mother" by Phillip D. Eastman
I purchased this book for my new grandchildren (TWINS!) because it was their father's & uncle's favorite story book growing up! My boys loved the story and would always answer NOOOO after the question "are you my mother" and then identify the animals and make the animals sounds for that animal. They never got tired of this story and would ask me to read it over and over again.
They were happy times, and I can't wait until my grandchildren are old enough to climb in my lap and have me read it to them - hopefully over and over!Lire l'avis complet...

Wow. Not what I expected not good
Well. I thought I would get a book gently used. Instead I got a book that would belong in a garage sale for a dime. I did not open it right away but when i did I was not impressed. Oh well Should of known

Quick Shipping
My book got here faster than expected which is such a relief. It's a little more worn than expected, but what would I expect getting a used kids book, haha! Jokes aside, it's still in great shape.
