6-year-old S says: "The book was very fun. And if I had a baby bird, and his mother went to find food, I would make sure the baby had someone to play with. Sometimes, really, mothers leave before their egg hatches. And when the egg hatches, the mother is gone, just like in this story.

This is an fun read for kindergardeners, and a good read for first graders." ( )

While its momma is gone the oh so cute little bird looks for his mother high and low, asking various animals are they his mother. The little bird walks by his mother and doesn't recognizes her because he is just out the nest and has not seen her.
While the mother bird is gone, the baby bird comes out of its shell. The first thing he says is, "Where is my mother?" He starts looking for her but doesn’t see her in the nest. As the day follows we as the reader follow the birds even as he ask if an evacuate is his mother! Eventually the baby bird finds his mother and we as the reader are so happy for the baby bird. This is a book perfect for beginner readers ( )

When a mother bird leaves her eggs to find food, they hatch! One of the little birds doesn't understand why his mother isn't there and goes in search of her. He runs into several animals along the way, each one asking them: Are you my mother?" It's a cute, easy book.

This book is a good first/last day of school book. A little bird is born and he can't find his mother because she went to find food for him. The little bird goes to all different kinds of animals and a truck and a "snort". None of them are his mother. Finally, his mother comes back to the nest and he knows that she is his mother.

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0394800184, Hardcover)

This is the classic from which many of our staff first learned to read, starting us on a path of unremitting bibliophilia. Are You My Mother? follows a confused baby bird who's been denied the experience of imprinting as he asks cows, planes, and steam shovels the Big Question. In the end he is happily reunited with his maternal parent in a glorious moment of recognition.
