kenmakozumehq's review against another edition

This was just something I read to my little brother, it is absolutely not something I'd read for fun considering its only like 10 pages and meant for those learning to read so it's very repetitive, It's not like it's bad just not meant for anyone over the age of 7 but it's still a book so I count it.

I read this electronically to test it out, and I definitely would suggest the physical book instead. Regardless, this is always a fun read!
For: young readers wanting to listen to a book or read it themselves.
Possible red flags: feelings of abandonment.
My original review is below.
***
Our protagonist just wants to find his mother and he looks all over for her, including some strange places. Eastman provides lots of repetition and familiar word choices to encourage young readers to interact with the story in front of them.

Strange story, the main character was VERY dim which did not suit the story.
It at first seemed as though it would be a breath taking story started with the age old question. "Are you my mother?" But his repeated asking of this question (To other animals and inanimate objects that could not possibly be his mother.)I found slightly disturbing. It also contributed to my fear that this newly hatched bird, had mental retardation brought on by his fall from the nest.
This book also brings up another sad topic, chick abandonment. The process of an adult bird leaving a new born ALONE in the nest for hours at a time a risky and dangerous thing to do to say the least.
In short this story is not (despite popular belief) a children's story. There is far too much chick endangerment. Birdy social services should most certainly take a look into this mother's endangerment of her chick.
*Note if you took this review seriously...you missed the point*

ARE YOU MY MOTHER?
Written and Illustrated bu P.D. Eastman
1960; Random House (64 pages)
(Review Not on Blog)
RATING: 5 STARS
I loved this book as a kid! First, my dad read it to me, and then I learned to read this by memorizing the story. I was that obnoxious kid that shouted out, "ARE YOU MY MOTHER?" every time I read it. I also remember reading this one way past my age level, as I found it comforting. In my opinion, this is one of those books all kids should be introduced to!

This book is a little long for toddlers to sit through. Plan to use it for preschoolers.

You have to play it up by adding interaction, but the toddler loves it. Especially the SNORT and saying NOOOOO when I ask if that kitten is the mama bird.
