I was delighted to find this treasured classic book from my childhood.  It is such a wonderful story; I do not understand why it has never been reprinted.  So many creative people sight it as having made a positive impression on them when they were children.

This story was a favorite of my children when they were young. We read it often. I was recently asked to read to a group of preschoolers but had long given away our  copy of Are You My Mother. I purchased this edition without noticing it is a "simpler and sturdier" book "for Babies of All Ages" (as it says on the book). Sadly, that means it's actually an abridged version which measures only 4" x 5 1/2", not large enough to read to 20 preschoolers. I would suggest to anyone to get the original charming classic version of the story as this one does not do it justice.

I bought this book about 15 years ago in an overstock bin.  I have been kicking myself ever since because I didn't buy every copy there- sadly I think that this book is now out of print.  I am currently a second grade teacher but when I was a prek teacher and a kindergarten teacher the kids went wild over this book.  It quickly became one of my top ten favorite kids books- and that's big coming from someone who has read a lot of kids books!  I now have a six year old and she loves this book too.  It was one of her favorites as a toddler.  I hope that someone out there will smarten up and bring this book back into print so more and more children can enjoy it.

This is a family favorite. My husband and I lived reading this to our son. Great illustrations and rhythm. A great gift for new parents. Bummed that it is out of print.

This wonderful book for the wee ones was first published in 1978 and to this day is still one of the more popular books available. Longevity and the ability to appeal to generation after generation tell you a lot about childrens books.  I have often felt though that many overlook one of the most appealing aspects of this work and that would be the wonderful illustrations.  Janet Ahlberg won the Kate Greenaway Medal for her work on this book and rightfully so.

But of course the fairy tale like characters and the rhyming couplets make the book a delight to read with children and the presents of beloved characters such as Cinderella, Bo-Peep, Tom Thumb, the Three Bears, Jack and Jill, Robin Hood and the beloved Mother Hubbard and many others, only add to the warmness of the book.  Couple this with the fact that this is one of those I Spy books that little ones almost universally enjoy, make this a book that needs to be placed on the top of your childs reading list.

This work has been around almost 40 years now and I strongly suspect that it will be alive and well even 40 years from now.

This was a library find.

I loved this book as a child! When our library was giving it away I got it. Sadly my copy over the years has taken a beating. I would love to see it reprinted. How can we get that done?

I loved this book as a child and I wanted a copy for my GRANDDAUGHTER at a reasonable price. Fine condition.

This book should be reprinted. It contains a glorious cross section
of childrens literature.  From "Little Miss Muffet", "The Story of the
Three Little Pigs", "The Walrus and the Carpenter". Excerpts from
"The Story of Babar", "Raggedy Andy Stories", "Robinson Crusoe" to
"Gulliver's Travels" most with the orginal illustrations.
A book for all from infant to adult.  A book for those with a love
of literature or to develope a love of literature in children.

A wonderful story that our kids loved when they were small. It was a beautifully illustrated paperback-not the dreary version shown here. Is it out of print?

This book is a weird, wonderful, gross, children's classic; both of my children have loved it, and every toddler I hand it to thinks it's hysterical. I wish this would see a reprint so I can stop haunting used booksites trying to find it for every kid I adore!

This was one of my favorite books as a child and my mother has fond memories of reading it to me. I recently rediscovered it as a book to read my own toddler and I have learned that most people have not heard of it. That's a shame. The illustrations are wonderful and the story is great fun. A little boy is invited to various meals by a doting king and queen and, contrary to all rules of etiquette, asks if he can bring a guest, who always turns out to be some more or less untidy zoo animal. The combination of royalty and wild animals makes this a perfect storm for my child. The text has wonderful rhymes, with lots of clever enjambment, and it reads quite musically. I hope more people discover this lost classic.

I have a copy of the original copyright 1949.
It is so old and fragile I was afraid the let my class handle it. I was overjoyed to find this newer copy as the original doesn't have color.
I have loved this story since I was a child, read it to both my children as well.
I highly recommend it! !
