Are You My Mother?
P.D. Eastman
Originally published in 1960
A baby bird falls out of his nest and is looking for his mother.
I wanted to start out this new blog with a book that is very important to me. I remember reading this book with my mother from a copy that used to belong to her. As I have gotten older, I especially appreciate the ending when the "thing" intervenes and puts him back in the nest. It always gives me hope for humanity.
Tip: Read what the baby bird says/thinks in a squeaky, curious voice.
What the boys think:
Daniel has always loved this book and I just caught him reading it to Aaron! It was the sweetest thing ever and he even did the voice!
