This must-have classic about a baby bird in search of his mother is the perfect for every day!A baby bird goes in search of his mother in this hilarious Beginner Book edited by Dr. Seuss. When a mother bird's egg starts to jump, she hurries off to make sure she has something for her little one to eat. But as soon as she's gone, out pops the baby bird. He immediately sets off to find his mother, but not knowing what she looks like makes it a challenge. The little hatchling is determined to find his mother, even after meeting a kitten, a hen, a dog, and a Snort. The timeless message of the bond between mother and child make P. D. Eastman's Are You My Mother? a must for baby showers, beginning readers, and Mother's Day.

I am 52 years old. My mother read this to me as a child-about a million times! When she died in 2012 I bought a copy and wrote her a note inside and she was buried with it. That is how much this book means to me.I just bought another copy- for my first grandchild!!
Multiversereader: Three generations of loving this classicOur grandson is currently engrossed by two authors, Sergio Ruzzier (and I'll review his books soon), and P.D. Eastman. Before settling down for a nap, he'll take a few of his vehicles or toy animals and read them a story. Often it's this one, which, like all his favorites, he has memorized. The plight of a baby bird who can't find his mother is one that resonates with a toddler. The fact that the baby bird is undaunted by being unable to fly, is unfazed by the fact that he has no idea what his mother looks like, and isn't at all intimidated by the fact that every potential "mother" he encounters is far larger than he, appeals to a two-year-old's "I can do this by myself" mindset. P. D. Eastman had a wonderful gift for grabbing the attention of very young children with both story-line and illustrations, while simultaneously amusing adults. Hence, I never tire of any of his stories, particularly "Are You My Mother", which I have been reading aloud (first to my baby sister, then to my daughters, and now to my grandson) for 55 years.
John Vault: Great book
This is a great Book for early readers. I bought this to read to my 2 year old. I figured that board books would be better since she likes to tear out pages in hard cover books. This is a classic book that she enjoys but to anyone who does not know, this is not the full book. it is really condensed. which in my case is perfect because its short enough to where my toddler doesn't lose focus

Nobody Girl: A nice little book for little hands.I bought this for my one-year-old niece as part of her Christmas present. I had this book when I was a kid myself (I'm 39 now!) so I thought it'd be fun to start a little tradition. My niece loves books but her little baby hands aren't the gentlest, so I was very happy to find this in the form of a board book.
Judy:A lovely storyI first bought this book 30+ years ago for my son and whilst looking for books for one of my grandchildren I was amazed to see it is still available. Whilst mum is away the baby bird leaves to nest to look for her and comes across many things on his journey, each time asking "Are you my mother" until finally he does find his mum. It is an engaging story which young children (and mums)
