   Summary: An Absolute Favorite!!
This was one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books when I was little. I am 24 now and I still have my book (and yes its falling apart). I am keeping it to read to my kids someday. Cute story about a baby bird who goes looking for his mother who went out to get some food. He meets all sorts of things along the way and asks them all "Are you my mother?". I saw another review about this book saying that it was "Scarry" and I can't help but roll my eyes. I never once thought the book was scarry when I was little nor did my brother. I am sure your kids will love it as much as so many other generations have. Hey it's Dr. Seuss, you just can't go wrong! :)

   Summary: Timeless Classic Still Appeals to Kids Today
Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby

I loved Are You My Mother? as a child, but I wasn't sure how my son would react. His world is filled with Spider-Man and Transformers, so how could a baby bird hold his attention? It turns out my concerns were unfounded. The story of a baby bird looking for Mama is as timeless as they come. My son's brow furrows with worry as the bird approaches a construction site looking for Mama. When the baby and Mama are reunited, my son is content. This story shows that, as bad as things might seem, everything turns out alright in the end - a very reassuring message for young kids.

   Summary: Favorite from baby-hood on
What a great story. The illustrations perfectly match the simple words. Any book that Mommy can memorize and then recite in the car while the toddler turns the pages is OK with me.

Actually, I'm not the only Mommy I know who has this one memorized -- a friend got stuck in an elevator with little ones and passed the 25 minutes until they were rescued by reciting this story.

It's a great one -- little children understand the determination, the perplexity, the fear, and the contentment of the little bird as he goes on his quest. The drawings are just right. And then the wonderful ending. Ah! How sweet is childhood.

This is a lovely story.

   Summary: Love it!
This book is very simple and I wasn't sure my daughter would like it, but my 21 month old adores it and wants to read it over and over again!

   Summary: Better than the original!
This is a very fun book! Our son (11 months) lights up whenever we sit down to read it together. He loves taking the baby bird out of the egg and then through the story. (We did cut baby bird off the ribbon because it seemed sort of restrictive.) I read the original version at a bookstore the other day, and I think that the cloth version is better. It sticks to the action and moves more quickly. I would recommend this for any baby's book shelf.
