From the Inside Flap
Are You My Mother? is a classic for beginning readers. A baby bird has hatched while its mother was away. Fallen from his nest, he sets out to find her and asks everyone he meets--a dog, a cow, a plane and more--"Are you my mother?" Children adore the little bird and are thrilled with the happy ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for spanish students!, September 3, 2000

By A Customer

I am a Spanish teacher and use "Eres tú mi mamá because the book is a great review for the preterite, imperfect and future. I have lessons designed for the verb grammar and my students really have fun reading a childhood story in Spanish that is so familiar to them in English. So if you want a fun way to review the past verb tenses and the future use this book and its video.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adequate translation of a classic, December 31, 2004

By	Chris's Daddy (San Jose, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: ŋEres tu mi mamá?/Are You My Mother? (Hardcover)

This is the same translator responsible for the dreadful Spanish version of The Cat in the Hat. His style of unimaginative transliteration, however, works much better for P.D. Eastman's simple, plain, prose than for Dr. Seuss' elaborate rhymes. He does manage to screw up the classic line "You are not my mother, you are a snort!", but most of the rest of the original comes through okay. Not quite as enjoyable to read aloud in Spanish as in English, but still fun.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Classic , Must read aloud book for Pre-K children., November 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: ŋEres tu mi mamá?/Are You My Mother? (Hardcover)

This is a particularly excellent book for young children just beginning school (Pre-K). It's a must "read aloud" book which all children love. Children easily relate to "loosing their mother" and crying with the baby bird "Where is my mother". There's lots of repetition which children need at this age and they enjoy repeating the phrases...the cat is not his mother, the dog is not his mother etc. It has all the necessary elements of a quality picture book...childrens' interests, repetition of key phrases, large interesting pictures and emotional content.
