5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for a mother and young child, July 24, 2008

This review is from: Mommy, Do You Love Me? (Hardcover)

This is a cute book to show children that their mothers will always love them, even if they make funny faces, get their faces dirty, or come in last in a race. However, the product detail page says ages 9-12 for this title. I would put this book around a 4-5 year old reading level.

This review is from: Mommy, Do You Love Me? (Hardcover)

Of course I am a bit biased, but I am too attached to Barbara Joosse's, classic, Mamma, Do You Love Me? I love the message of unconditional love and was interested to see if Ms. Willis' compared. It is a nice story told through chickens, but lacks the deeper, more universal approach crafted in Joosses' original. Perhaps the several phrases that just copied Ms. Joosse's put me off, but I honestly think "Mommy" is a shallow imitation.

This review is from: Mommy, Do You Love Me? (Hardcover)

I must admit the reason I first purchased this book was my love of chickens. I collect anything with chickens on it. That's why we purchased a chicken farm.I thought this would be a cute book. This book was more than I expected. The ilustrations are beautiful, and the story will teach a child no matter what they do "mommy" willl always love them. Definitely worth buying.
