Book Reviews of Are You My Mother?
Book Review: Awesome teaching tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a freshman in highschool and for my final this year in Child Development we had to read a book to the class as if to a group of children ages 3-5 I knew right away what book I would choose- Are You My Mother? This was a my favorite book as a child and was easy to read to a group without them getting bored. Its also a great way to discuss what to do if your ever seperated from your Mommy. I highly reccomend this book for EVERYONE! And of course, I got an A as my final grade!Book Review: Baby Bird and Mother
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a children's book and it is absolutely the sweetest book I've ever read. It is about a baby bird hatching and then finding its mother in this big world. The mother feeds the baby (brings it a worm).
When I read this book to my children, we compare the bird to them (the child) and compare the worm to the mother's milk. When our children are first born, they immediately find their mother and immediately get fed.
I just cannot sing enough praise for this book. I like giving this book as a gift at baby showers. If you have a small child, I would definitely recommend it.
Awesome!
Book Review: Best Baby Book
Summary: 5 Stars
In spite of its simplicity, this book has the most riveting plot of any baby book I've ever come across. What could be more compelling to a child than losing your own mother and not knowing what she looks like? The ensuing search has small children on the edge of their high chairs. The whimsical mother surrogates, dog, cat, etc., are absurdly funny to even the youngest. The spunky protagonist is brave and persistent and, with a little help from the most outrageous "mother" of all, the "Snort," the baby bird eventually finds his own true mother. The illustrations are comic and endearing. I particularly like this book because the illustrations do not overshadow the TEXT. Kids today are inundated with easily accessible IMAGES,GRAPHICS. They need WORDS, LANGUAGE, early and often! Both of my children came under the spell of Are You My Mother at an early age. Moreover, I give it and the accompanying toy bird character at every baby shower I attend. I think it asks a pertinent question that moms as well as kids could ponder. As a bonus, Are You My Mother will be read by the child later as a beginning reader. I absolutely love this book and so do kids!Book Review: CUTENESS
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a super cute picture book for anyone of any age to enjoy. This makes an excellent gift book.. I gave it to my mother (I'm adopted) and she liked it very much... It's the story of a little bird that falls out of his nest and goes from one thing to another asking "are you my mother??" til he finds his rightful mother. Very touching and cute!Book Review: Can't Stand This Book--So Many Better Options
Summary: 1 Stars
If you are looking for a story to explain the mother-child bond and you live in an artificial society where all parents look like their children, then, perhaps this book is for you. However, if you are an adoptive parent, a step-parent, a foster-parent, or just a mom whose child doesn't mirror you, don't even bother with this book. I won't read it to my students (I am an elementary school teacher) or to my own children--who, incidentally, don't look like me. The book reinforces the notion that in order for a child and his mother to have a bond, they must look alike. Maybe I'm being a little overly sensitive or PC, but I simply loathe this book, which isn't even well written on top of everything else there is to dislike about it. If you're looking for a moving story, that truly shows what it's really like to be a mom, regardless of who you are or what you look like, A Mother For Choco by Keiko Kasza is a far superior choice.
