Synopsis

Un pequeño pajarito ha salido del huevo mientras su madre no está. Se cae del nido y sale a buscarla, preguntando a todo al que se encuentra --un perro, una vaca, un aeroplano y a algunos otros seres--: "¿Eres tu mi mamá?" Los niños adoran al pajarito y disfrutan enormemente el final feliz. ¿Eres tu mi mamá? es un clásico para los que comienzan a leer.

School Library Journal

PreS-Familiar stories are told in simple, repetitive language; some are reduced to a sentence or two. There's no distinction made between the Old and New Testaments. The unimaginative, static illustrations seem derived from old Sunday School texts. Everyone is fair-skinned except for the Magi and, instead of exuding the robustness that characterizes healthy humans, the adults seem curiously prepubescent. The book's usefulness in most collections is dubious.-Kathy Piehl, Mankato State University, MN
