This is a wonderful book. It is one of my almost 3-year old's favorite books. He has it memorized so it is a lot of fun when he "reads" it to me. This is a must-have.

No plot--just many pictures of animal mommies and babies, with a well thought out rhyming text describing the animals. Author Tim Warnes avoids the cloying, oversweet mommy, and has great phrases such as "Mommy Stomp!" for elephants and "Mommy hairy" for spiders.

Illustrator Jane Chapman seems to have researched animals and their babies well--the baby elephant still has a tuft of hair on its head, for instance. And beautiful bright colors make the pictures interesting even to my 9 month old. She claps with delight when she sees this book, and laughs with anticipation on her favorite pages (this at an age when most books, to her, are just a teething aid). Great book.

This book totally has won my heart. The illustrations are wonderful. The words are fun to read aloud, and my 3 and 2 year olds know it by heart. The pictures totally make the book for me-- I would recommend this for any child, boy or girl, of any age. It's great. It also teaches that not all babies resemble their moms - butterflies and caterpillars as an example!

this book brings to life the imagination of a 15 month old, she enjoyed it so much, she learnt to recognize all the animals (the book has 20 different animals at least)..
highly recommended book...

My daughter (18 months) absolutely loves this book. We read it every night before bedtime. It is short and sweet and is beautifully illustrated. I'm trying to find another book from the same illustrator. Definitely recommend.

Book was listed like new however it was far from it. Many pages had tears, marks, and food on them. Pretty disappointed.

My 2 year old son LOVES this book. Every night before we go to bed we read a few books togther. He will sit on my lap and I would read him his books. The last book we read is Mommy Mine. He loves this books. I use different voices for each animal. He loves the Elephant when it goes...Mommy Loud...Mommy Stomp...he just start giggling. He won't let me turn to the next page until I read these a few more times. I highly recommend this book. Not many words in it so I will hold a young childs attention and the illustration is beautiful and vibrant. This is a must have. I will be buying other books from Tim Warnes.
