"I am definitely too old for this now and maybe I was too old when I read it as a kid, but I found this book to be incredibly boring. It is a Dr. Seuss wannabe without the creativity. A bird pops out of an egg and then proceeds to ask everything it sees if it is its mother. Utterly repetitive. Even when Dr. Seuss was repetitive, there was was a moral to the story and fun rhyming (at least I don't remember Are You My Mother rhyming). Granted a toddler could probably appreciate this more than I ever did, but with all the great children's books out there I do not know why someone would pick this one."
"The pictures in this book are very simple. It bugged me that the majority of the pictures are brown, with a little bit of red and yellow. The fewer colors of the book remind me of older books that my grandma and grandpa used to read to me when I was little. I enjoyed the concept of the book, and I know that about every child has felt like the little birdy searching for their mother. I remember many times I could not find my mother, and when I was about to give up she would return. I also, noticed that the book is a very lengthy book for a picture book. There are sixty-four pages in the book. However, the book gives a good illusion of it not being long by the approximately one sentence per page."
"I picked this book up at a flea market for just a $1 and it has been the best dollar I ever spent :-p This book is a favorite in our house... in fact, my daughter Josie has become so attached to it, she takes it everywhere, even to bed at night. While there's no deep moral to the story or overtly educational value, it is in an entertaining and very cute story that is great for introducing children to reading... even before they can actually read. Although my girls are just starting to be able to recognize certain words when they see them (they just turned 4), Josie "reads" this book all the time to herself and to her twin sister Anna... I have read it to them so many times, all she has to do is see the picture, and she knows what is said on that page. Along with other books in their collection, I believe this book has helped to cement a life-long love of reading in my daughters..."
