Summary: Good book for boy or girl
Review: I was a little put off by the idea that this is a "great book for mothers and daughters". Just because the child in the story is a girl does not mean that this book is not for boys too. My three year old son loves this book and so do I!

Summary: Wonderful Bedtime Message
Review: I was so excited when this book arrived, I immediately read it to my 6 month baby girl. She enjoyed it so much (as much as a 6 mo. could) I read it twice! The story is wonderful and the illustrations are beautiful - what more could you ask!

Summary: Love is unconditional
Review: Kids are never too young to learn about other cultures. This book has beautiful illustrations showing native Alaskans in wonderful settings. The drawings attract just as much as the timeless tale of a mother's unconditional love for her child. It has great possibilities for opening discussions or for introducing pretending-type games. Best of all, it is all about love and there can never be too much of that.

Summary: Most touching children's book
Review: Let me echo the sentiment that children learn what we teach them; no matter how foreign it may be to us, they can grasp any idea we throw their way. Cultural issues aside, I find this the most touching young children's book I have encountered for its completely unaffected demonstration of motherly affection. And truly, the illustrations enrich the beauty of the text. For the first time in my life I purchased a book for the sole purpose of dismantling it because I wanted a framed image over my daughters' bed daily pronouncing, "I will love you forever and for always because you are my dear one." Always the best gift for new mothers!

Summary: Comments from The Spiritual Reviewer
Review: Love is the only thing that really matters! There's no mistaking the powerful allure of unconditional love in this young children's book, which has just been republished in a 10th anniversary commemorative edition.Mama, Do You Love Me? depicts an Inuit mother who loves her daughter, no matter what. Throughout the story the daughter repeatedly asks, "Mama, do you love me?" She comes up with many intriguing and playful reasons why the mother might be persuaded to withhold love. For example, what if the daughter broke the ptarmigan eggs? What if she put lemmings in her mother's mukluks? The mother does not hide or lie about her feelings. Sometimes she says she would be surprised, or angry, or scared, but these variable emotions do not change her love for her daughter. Her daughter is her Dear One, always and forever. This story is best suited for a young child, but it may also be interesting to anyone who's very keen on Alaska or Inuit life. This book received a score of 7.50 on a scale of (1) low to 10 (high) from The Spiritual Reviewer.

Summary: Too much for the age level for which it's intended
Review: There are about 10 words in this book I could not define without pulling out the dictionary. Heck..a few I can't even pronounce!
I'm all for introducing children to different cultures (such as the Eskimo culture depicted in this book) but this book is intended for babies and toddlers, who are barely getting the hang of their own culture. By the time my child can read this book on her own, she won't ask, "Mama, do you love me?" She'll ask, "Mama, What's a ptmargin egg and a mukluk?"

Summary: Children are allowed to ask questions...
Review: This book is a great example of a child probing for answers. "Mama, Do You Love Me?" allows a child to seek out the boundaries of a mother's love. It touches upon cause and effect, with the chid daring the mother to still love even if she does the most horrible things. The mother's response is that although she would be sad, she would still love her child.
I thought this book was a great teaching tool to say, "I love you, my child, even when you do things that are not so nice."
