I used to read this book to my son and daughter when they were young. I became an elementary teacher and took it to my classroom. It has been taped and repaired many times. Other children love it too! I now have two granddaughters. I thought the three year old would love this book so I bid on a new one. As a teacher, I know how important it is to discuss a book as well as read it. This book offers a unique opportunity for discussion. The repeating lines are an essential aspect of reading development. My granddaughter absolutely loves it. I even wrote the seller and told him. I knew it was special when my granddaughter looked at my dog and asked "Are You My Mother?" We laughed.
Are You My Mother is an excellent book for a person of any age. I had read the book as a small child and loved it. I had the same reaction some 30 years later. It is interesting and fun to see how the persistent little bird makes connections to the various things that he chooses to question in hopes of finding his mother. The reason I would suggest this as a Mother's Day present is because it will take you back to your own pathways for the meanings of mother, both when you have been a child and an adult. I had chosen the book for myself because my own mother was too ill on Mother's Day to even know she was my mother. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for all.
Wonderful book and I think any early age kid would like it. My 4.5 year old grandson loves it. He likes it when the little birdie says "Are you my mother?"
