Where's My Mom?

Misadventures in a jungle to find mom.

If your evening reads include a blend of laughter, lesson, and charm, "Where's My Mom?" is a fine choice. Julia Donaldson's rhyming finesse makes the whimsical search engaging, and Axel Scheffler's illustrations bring a colorful liveliness to each page. It's a feel-good story that might just subtly nudge your little ones to appreciate similarities and differences.

Description

When little monkey can't find his mother, butterfly offers to help in the search. Little monkey says that his mother is big, so butterfly leads him to . . . an elephant. No, that's not right! Little monkey says his mom is furry, so butterfly leads him to . . . a bat. That's not right either. From then on, little monkey and butterfly meet many jungle animals, but they don't find Mom until little monkey comes up with just the right description. With Julia Donaldson's effortless rhyme and Axel Scheffler's vibrant illustrations, this circular tale combines funny miscommunication with a little bit of science for a charming feel-good adventure.
