Summary: "Mama, Do You Love Me?" Review
Review: This is a nice and silly (in a good way) story about a young inuit girl that wonders how much her mother loves her.
The book is filled with beautiful arctic illustrations, which are colorful and stylized (a very unique style of illustration).
The book also has some bonus facts about arctic animals that I found very interesting to read.
I am very happy with this purchase!

Summary: Great Message, Great Book
Review: This story focuses on one simple question that every child thinks at one point or another. The question is whether their parents will always love them no matter what the child does. This story confirms for children young and old, that no matter what they do, their parents (mama) will still love them. The story is delightfully told from the perspective of the Intuit culture. The mischief the child creates deals with things that are unique to that culture such as accidentally dropping ptarmigan eggs, spilling the oil in the family's lamp, slipping an emrine in mama's mukluks or turning into a Walrus. My son and I enjoy talking about how different cultures live and what they believe and this book has started some fun conversations. I believe the story does not prompt children into asking the "wrong" question as mentioned in other reviews. The story promotes the idea of a parent's love and acceptance no matter what their little hellion does and does it with a wonderful story and captivating artwork. This has become one of our favorite books.

Summary: Great book for both toddler and parent
Review: We bought this in Alaska for our 18mo. old son and it's one of his favorite books as well as one of mine. The book introduces unusual animals and clothing (parkas, muk luks, puffins, musk ox, etc) as it tells a story of a little girl asking her mother if she'll still be loved if she were to do mischevious behaviors or turn into an animal. The book reassures the child that she will always be loved even if the behavior makes the mother angry, sad, or scared. A beautifully illustrated reassuring story.

Summary: Child/Parent Bond is a Privilege
Review: Yes, this book deals with a mother and her young daughter, but as the mother of two sons, ages 3 and 5, my boys are mesmerized with the beauty of the simplicity, tenderness, and love displayed through the beautiful illustrations and endearing but simple, child-friendly words...thumbs up to both this empathetic author and her talented illustrator!
