Are You My Dad?

This is a sweet book about a baby penguin looking for his dad. I love the way there's a lot of information crammed into the story without it standing out and interrupting the story. The one thing that bothered me was that all the animals were named correctly, but the human was defined by a cute name. It seemed out of place.

This was adorable. I loved that each character she met gave information about themselves. Children learning as they follow the journey. I learned about Antarctic animals and loved the pictures. I can see using this in storytimes.

Are You My Dad? Is the story of a penguin who hatches out of her egg but then doesn't know where her Dad is, so she goes off to find him! Every animal she sees along the way she asks, "Are you my Dad?" All of the animals tell them how they are similar to her Dad, but not her Dad. Finally, she is reunited with her Dad and all is well.

A really cute book, similar to "Are you my Mother?" which I read a lot as a kid!

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.

In the modern day of children growing up in homes of a very different variety than existed in 1960, it's about time that a new book was created that somewhat coincides with, while differing from, ARE YOU MY MOTHER? by Dr. Seuss. This is the book for just that. Am absolutely buying it for a few of the dads on my list.

Sweet story of a penguin chick hatching only to realize his father is missing. He seeks his father out, but all the animals he meets are not his father. Will he know his father if he finds him?

This adorable children's book has cute illustrations and should appeal to the preschool age child.

Adorable. This is the P.D. Eastman classic, Are You My Mother? Set in Antarctica and a lost baby penguin. I loved this book, it couldn't be cuter. The illustrations are adorable the story line a classic with a twist.

When little penguin's egg rolls down a hill as she is hatching, she finds herself alone and begins to search for her dad. She asks each animal she encounters in the arctic landscape if they are her dad. The albatross is not her dad, he can fly while her father cannot. The orca tells her that he is much larger than her dad. She realizes that the clicker is not her dad either. With a similar feel to the book Are You My Mother?, this book is sure to entertain and educate children and parents alike. The illustrations are very cute!

This delightful book with its adorable main character is a delight to read and to share.

A baby Empire Penguin chick after wiggling and twisting herself rolls her egg right off of her dad's feet and down a small hill! The wind picks her up and pushes her egg and it rolls down a BIG hill. Pop!! Out she comes ...

"Where is my dad?" she asked. She looked left. She peered right. She glanced behind and gazed in front...
"My dad is lost!" she cried. "I must go find him," and away she went.

She slips, slides, and waddles along encountering an albatross, an orca, and an elephant seal, just to name a few. Each time she asks them the same question... "Are you my dad?" Sadly they have to answer no.

"My dad is very lost. Where can he be?!" she worried and began to
waddle faster..."

She discovers a strange thing climbing out of the sea. Something that knows how to swim and has flippers but does not know how to fly.

"Dad? Dad? DAD! I found you! she squealed.

The stranger stops, lifts an object to his face and starts clicking his camera madly. Realizing it is not her dad but a "clicker" (her sweet word ) she slides quickly away.

Will the poor little chick ever get reunited with her beloved dad? With brute determination and a never-give-up-spirit (my words), she finally experiences success and it's hard to tell which penguin is happier for their reunion. Dad snuggles in his precious baby girl and holds on to her ever so tight. He has a HUGE contented smile on his face and in his heart too I'm sure.

The illustrations are cartoonish, kid-friendly and extremely heartwarming. I know that kids will love the story and will learn some names and characteristics of animals residing in Antarctica. I love the book and highly recommend it.

A cute book about a baby penguin that loses her father and looks everywhere to find him. An albatross, a seal, even a person, all have something in common with her Dad but none of them really are! Will she ever find her Dad?

A sweet story with nice illustrations. My kids will like the motion words to act themselves into the story and play along.

I loved this children's book. It's a great story, beautifully illustrated, and introduces children to a wide variety of antarctic creatures.

This is a lovely book - it reaches children all about the animals that can be found in Antarctica and has a story that will keep them engaged - the images are great and its a fantastic little book overall - 5 stars
