This is a classic tale of mother to sibling relationship, and makes for a quality read a loud to beginning readers. Each of the characters in the story are enjoyable, and the tale itself is very easy to follow along for a few reasons. First, the text is bold and easy to see. Second, there is a rhythm and pacing to the story which makes it easy for listeners to keep track of the action. Thirdly, there is plenty of repetition in the story, so listeners will not be quick to forget what the little bird is trying to find, or whom he meets along the way! In addition to an enjoyable story, the artwork is also very nice on the eyes. P.D. Eastman uses a three color scheme (red, yellow, and brown)which hearkens to the "Frog and Toad" series - simple, with the action and expressions coming through the artwork very well. I would recommend this story as a good first reader to add to your collection
Science/Math Ex. Lesson) I would go into a very simple science lesson over different kinds of animals, and what animal produces what kind - for example, what does a Mommy Dog make? Answer - A puppy, and so forth."
"Maybe I'm just too sensitive, but this book rubs me the wrong way. Having an adopted sister and knowing many adoptive families, the emphasis that you should look like your parents for them to be your parents is a little much. The cow tells the bird, "How could I be your mother?" Well, why can't you be his mother? I have a friend whose father is black and mother is white and when her parents split, she spent the rest of her childhood listening to people question whether or not she was "really" her mother's daughter. Sometimes even biological families don't look alike."
"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."
