Book Reviews of Are You My Mother?
Book Review: "Are You My Mother?"
Summary: 5 Stars
I re-read the classic book, "Are You My Mother?" and I understand why it is a classic. My Grandmother read this book to my mom when she was a child and my mom read the book to me when I was a little girl and I will read it to my kids when I have them. This book is great for any child because the drawings tell the story and it will help your child learn to read because they will want to read this story again and again.
This story is about an adorable baby bird that hatches and can not find his mother. The baby bird is anxious to find his mother and goes on a journey to find her. He asks everyone and everything he sees if they are his mother.
This book is guaranteed to make you and your children laugh. This is also a book adults as well as children will enjoy reading. You will have to read the story yourself if you want to know what happens to the baby bird during his journey.
Book Review: 3 yr old Son LOVED this book
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: A BOOK BOTH MY SON AND I LOOOOOOOVE
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of my absolute favorite books as a child. Twenty seven years later I read it to my one year old, and when I picked it up for the first time to read it to him I still had all of the words memorized from that long ago. He has shelves and shelves of books, but every night this one has to be read or he won't go to sleep! A classic book that will be around for more years. What better story to read to your children than about a baby's and mother's love for each other.Book Review: A Beloved Part of Our Family
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: A Bird's Quest for Identity
Summary: 4 Stars
This children's classic blithely written from an adult point of view, makes light of a baby bird's terror when he realizes that his mother is absent from the nest when he hatches. The plot, the baby's quest for a parent and identity in an increasingly technological and impersonal world, climaxes when the baby plaintively asks a machine (the snort) if IT is his mother. Though the bird mother, identified as such by her scarf and handbag, reassuringly reappears at the end of the book, the reader is left shaken and uncertain of the future of the nest which is the Twenty First Century.
