I gave my grand daughter this book for her seventh birthday. Why? Her father got a divorce when she was two years old. Her mother left my grand daughter "to find herself". I became the temporary "mother." Recently,when I read a book of Dr. Seuss to her class and asked the question, "What is your favorite Dr. Seussbook", every student was ready to give their favorite Dr. Seuss title. But my grand daughter spoke up and said, "My favorite book is "Are You My Mother?". Her answer touched me deeply in that moment.It struck me that my grand daughter was now ready to search deeper to find that missing piece of her life. I am so grateful that this book will help her on her search. It has few words, but with the simple illustrations, can direct the reader to its final exciing conclusion.Show Less

Really?

I have already purchased all the Dr. Seuss books FROM BN, and it is ridiculous to expect a parent to spend ten bucks for the electronic version of a small book for children.

    Are you kidding

    $13.98 for a nook book. Prices are to high. Will sell nook and go back to paperback. Would not give any star if i could.

    This item is not as described (the book with the baby bird in the nest on the cover).

    If you are buying this for a baby (the book with the baby bird in the nest) it would be a nice book. It isn't as described. It is listed and described as a hardcover 64 page book. It is actually a cloth 5 page book. It's very cute for a baby, it has a little baby bird attached and you move him through the book. This not for an older child. When I emailed to let Barnes and Noble about their mistake they informed me the sent me what I ordered. I ordered this book but it was not as it was described. So be careful of who you are buying this for.

    Brings back memories!

    I remember this book being read to me when I was just a little girl and that was over 30 years ago. This is one of the cutest books ever and a must read for the new generation.

    Great as a handheld book, not so much as an E-book:(

    I love this book, but unfortuantely the read to me option is very hard to listen to. Very monotone voice, my kids got bored very quickly and payed a lot more attention when I read the book. Not work 9.99 as a nookbook!
