Are You My Mother?

by P. D. Eastman

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. (read review)

Both my little guys still call excavators "Snorts!" because of this book. It isn't a reading in our house as mush as an event. A cute and funny book about a wayward bird.

This book was simply alright. I found the story a bit pedestrian. Baby bird hatches -- can't find it's mother -- searches for it's mother -- finds it's mother. All in all, I found it a bit unbelievable. I mean, I'm only 12 weeks old, and I can recognize my own mother's face. But apparently this little bird can't tell the different between a steam shovel and his own momma. The art was fine, nothing to write home about. If you're looking for a sort of travel/adventure book, I suggest...

    I love using different voices for the characters/animals and "snort" when reading this to Aiden. I think I enjoy reading it more than Aiden does!
