Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-- These books feature, respectively, a tiger cub searching for his father and a chick searching for her mother. On each page the cub or chick meets a different animal who explains why he or she is the wrong parent, until the searches end successfully. The simple pop-ups are fairly effective: some animals lift their heads to look at each other or to nod at readers as the page turns. The tone is so pleasant that even a jaw-snapping crocodile looks friendly. In fact, the animals are amicable, but low on character, a price the pictures pay for their simplicity. The opportunity to match a baby with a parent animal is a sure-fire preschooler pleaser, and this aspect helps these books to moderate success, even if text and pictures don't pack much of a wallop. For a more deluxe treatment, try Deborah Guarino's Is Your Mama a Llama? (Scholastic, 1989) with its lovely illustrations and sweet verse. --Liza Bliss, Worcester Public Library, MA

4.0 out of 5 stars
Simple but well done; good for the under 2 crowd,
This review is from: Are You My Mommy? (Hardcover)
This is a good pop up to engender warm fuzzy feelings. Baby chick looks for her mommy among the farm yard animals, and is not disappointed to find her at last. The pop ups are simple, not fanciful, but the book is very well done. The images are simple but recognizable, and this is a good pop up for infants and even pre-toddlers. Unlike many pop ups, this takes a basic story and delivers it well. Also unlike many in this genre, these pop ups are built to withstand a little tension, so the book may last longer than some others.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great selection for a beginning reader!,
By Gail (Orlando, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Are You My Mommy? (Hardcover)
Are You My Mommy? is a favorite of all the children that I work with as a speech-language therapist. They love the illustrations and the repetitive lines help them develop not only their reading skills, but their language skills as well. It is particularily a favorite among children and teachers of children who use assistive technology to communicate. It provides for them a great means to practice saying the phrase "are you" and "I am not." Over and over the children ask to read this book and always have a great time doing it. Plus, the pop-up feature is endearing to all the kids, especially the alligator with the jaws that open and close. In the child's imagination, my fingers have been chomped thousands of time! A great book all around.

This review is from: Are You My Mommy? (Hardcover)
My three year old nephew loves this book. He guesses the different animals, repeats the refrain, and loves the pop-ups. Nice and short for bedtime and very sweet.
