Cute book for children, the pictures are vibrant and fascinating, my 1 year old loved to read it and I enjoyed reading it to him!

Dinosaur picture books are pretty much a guaranteed win, especially when, as with this book, the illustrations are strong.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.

I love, love, loved this book. The pictures were so colorful and cute. The text rhymed and was catchy. Kids love dinosaurs and will learn the names and characteristics of some dinosaurs. This is a must-read!

<i>Am I Yours?</i> by Alix Latimer is a book I’ve found myself woundrously happy with. I picked it up primarily due to the fact that it reminded me a little of P. D. Eastman’s <i>Are You My Mother? </i>Since that was a book I was exceptionally fond of as a child, I couldn’t help being curious as to how the author of this one would manage the tale of a lost young one in search of his or her parents.

And I am happy to report that <i>Am I Yours?</i> did not disappoint. With a beautiful and lyrical rhyme scheme that has just about the most perfect flow, when an infant in an egg is lost, he repeatedly searches among the dinosaurs to determine whether or not they are his parents. You learn a bunch of dinosaur names along the way as they describe themselves to the creature in the egg to see if they match.

Alas, just as in <i>Are You My Mother?, </i>each new potential parent doesn’t seem to match the baby inside the egg. And so it is not until the sun begins to set and they are all able to see beyond the little shell to the young dinosaur inside in order to determine who the egg belongs to. And in perhaps one of the most heartwarming images I’ve seen, they all band together to return the little egg to his home.

I loved this story so much. I loved the song-like poetry that told the tale, the images, and the overall plot itself. It definitely brought me back to my own childhood and a book I read quite often at a young age. I would definitely suggest getting this book for your kids, especially if they love dinosaurs!

I really enjoyed Am I Yours?. The rhymes flowed well and didn't seem forced (which can really make or break a book); I liked the repetition of the lines, "What do you look like inside that shell? / I can't see in so I can't tell," and I also liked how those lines, in particular, paid off in the end. This book would be fun to read out loud to a group, and I think kids will enjoy it. I can't wait to put in on the shelf!

Awwwwww. So adorable. An egg rolls down a mountain and asks all the dinosaurs around if they belong. But he has no points, for filles, no short arms. Will they ever find where they belong? A lovely rhyming story with a great cadence that would be a new favorite at story time.

In Alex Latimer’s Am I Yours, a few million years ago, an egg takes a tumble from a nest and rolls a good distance. When it lands, the little creature inside begins to ask passers-by “Am I yours.” Unfortunately, the unknown creature doesn’t match the characteristics of any who come across it: Stegosaurus (“Are there spikes along your spine?/Long an flat an sharp like mine?”), Brachiosaurus (“Do you have a longish neck?/Or is it short? Can you check?”), Triceratops, Corythosaurus, or T-Rex. The voice gets more urgent as the day fades and the creature worries “I’ll freeze alone!/I must stay warm!”). Luckily, the setting sun allows for the dinosaurs to see inside and, recognizing the creature’s shape and form, they quickly hustle the egg back to its grateful parents at their nest.

For the most part the rhyme and rhythm are smooth, though there are a few bumpy spots in the rhythm and a handful of rhymes feel a bit forced. The art is bright and colorful, and the dinosaurs are pretty basic as forms — round-bellied and not a lot of distinctive detail; I wouldn’t say the aim is toward realism here. The background is similarly simple, though the foregrounded plants are more detailed. The surroundings, despite the simplicity, seem to shift slightly, which is a bit odd given the static nature of the setting.

Some children may be a bit anxious at the urgency of the plea at the end that implies the baby fears its own death. And while the backlit silhouette very quickly reveals the baby and thus leads to a happy ending, it did seem a little odd, and cold, that none of the dinosaurs thought to keep the egg warm even if it isn’t “theirs.” Parents should probably be prepared to deal with that question. Am I Yours didn’t wow me, but it’s a solid picture book and let’s face it, kids love dinos.

All children get lost at some point in early childhood. It is a frightening event and with all the talk of stranger danger, kids are even more afraid than ever. This is a rhythmical story about an unlucky egg that gets blown out of its nest and tries to find its way home. Reminiscent of PD Eastman's Are You My Mother? It is a perfect story to read to help allay your child's fears of getting lost and a good conversation starter about what to do when you can't find a familiar face.

It seems all children love learning about dinosaurs and this adorable book will cause them to be more endearing!

The bright, cheery illustrations and poetic verses will engage your child and become a family favorite which you'll happily return to time and again! #AmIyours? #NetGalley

I reviewed this book for Peachtree Publishers. It tells the story of a dinosaur egg trying to find who he belongs to.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Peachtree Publishers for my unbiased opinion of the book. What a cute kids’ story about a little dinosaur egg figuring out where they belong in the vast world of dinosaurs. The egg rolls around to several different types of dinosaurs asking if they might be there. In the end, the egg finds where he belongs and comes out of its shell to meet its parents! A wonderful story about finding out where you belong with great graphics and funny rhyming story!!! This will become an instant classic!

Bright colors, rhyming text, and dinosaurs will make a storytime hit! Dino fans will have fun trying to figure out what’s inside the egg as more informaton unfolds. Excellent introduction to the mystery genre.

A poor little egg doesn't know to whom it belongs, so it is forced to ask all manner of dinosaurs in order to find out who its parents might be - and after many failed attempts, the search concludes happily. A great children's book with a repetition that would be good for a story time.

I really enjoyed this and I think it will appeal to lots of children at my library. The dinosaur illustrations are clear and cute, and the plot is easy for younger children to follow. I have already purchased it.

A lost egg is looking for its parents. As dinosaurs gather, it asks, “Am I yours?” In rhythm and rhyme, the friendly dinosaurs inquire about what the egg looks like inside its shell since they can’t see in. After multiple attempts, the egg’s parents still can’t be found. But the group of dinosaurs is determined to help the egg find its home.

Am I Yours? is a cute story with great illustrations. Kids will enjoy the wonder and suspense of finding out just who is in that egg.

Everyone wants to belong somewhere, and even inside the egg, this dinosaur searches for his family. In this touching tale told in rhyme, a large egg gets blown out of its nest and down a hill. As the day wears on, the egg asks Brachiosaurus, Tyrannosaurus and the other friendly dinosaurs, "Am I Yours?". One by one they inquire about the egg's physical features (long neck, rows of sharp teeth...) and the egg determines that he must not belong to them. Finally as the sun sets and the cold sets in, the tiny dinosaur in the egg is illuminated and identified. The other dinosaurs, gently roll it back up the hill to its nest. His pterosaur parents ecstatically welcome it home. Coming from a family who has always loved reading, listening to and watching shows about dinosaurs, I was very pleased with this book. My grandson sat and listened and recognized many of the dinosaur species. Of course he kept equating them to dinosaurs he knew from "Dinosaur Train" a show he absolutely loves. The illustrations were wonderful. Large, colourful and detailed. I would definitely recommend this book for family, classroom, school and public libraries. The publisher, Myrick Marketing & Media, LLC, generously provided me with a copy of this book to read. The ideas/opinions shared are my own.

I adore this book! I'm a sucker for rhyming picture books, so this was right up my alley. The illustrations are wonderful. I can totally see myself reading this as party of a dinosaur or baby animal themed storytime.

A sweet tale depicting an egg’s hunt for its parents, this book provides a safe way to explore discovering a place to belong in a world filled with different characteristics. Without being able to see inside the egg, the dinosaurs must try to find a way to help get it home. With each let-down, my children sympathized with the egg, yet remained hopeful that the parents would be found if we just turned one more page.

The writing is solid and the illustrations are bright and engaging.

This book is a sure win for young dinosaur lovers that is brings fond memories back of reading Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman. A perfect choice for storytime, bedtime, or any time in between. I would strongly recommend this book!

This was absolutely precious! I loved the graphics and the rhyming scheme, which makes for a more enjoyable storytime. The story itself was like Dr. Seuss' "Are You My Mother?" So it wasn't a new concept but the dinosaur element was a nice touch and I think a lot of kids will enjoy this, I know I did!

Adorable picture book about an egg that rolls down the hill and is looking for who she belongs too. Many dinosaurs come to ask the egg if it has features like them, but the egg doesn't belong to any of them. Super sweet ending, loved this book! Great illustrations as well. Reminds me of Are You My Mother? but with dinosaurs!
