This is a quick book about a baby bird that falls out of his nest and is trying to reunite with his mother. I would read this book to younger children like first or second grade. It would be good to teach perseverance and show that even when things seem scary, they will work out in the end. ( )

A little bird tries to find his mother. Not sure what happens in the full version, but we liked the board book. I read it to Lily a lot and it was fun to do voices for the different animals. Pretty sure Lily might have learned the word "up" from this book. ( )

When a mother bird's egg starts to jump, she hurries off to make sure she has something for her little one to eat. But as soon as she's gone, out pops the baby bird. He immediately sets off to find his mother, but not knowing what she looks like makes it a challenge. The little hatchling is determined to find his mother, even after meeting a kitten, a hen, a dog, and a Snort. The timeless message of the bond between mother and child makes this abridged, super-simple board book edition of P. D. Eastman's Are You My Mother? a must for beginning readers.
