Publishers Weekly
"YES! A kangaroo has a mother. Just like you and me," responds Carle to the query posed by the title of his latest collage-filled book. Ten additional, identically phrased questions and answers follow, each centered on a different animal, including the lion, penguin, swan, bear, elephant and monkey. This limited, singsong text may make reading aloud repetitious, but Carle's collages are as vibrant and refreshing as ever. Innovative textures, quirky perspectives and glowing, jewel tones mark these stylized images of affectionate animal mothers and their endearing young. The final query ("And do animal mothers love their babies?") breaks the narrative pattern, though the rejoinder is just as predictable: "YES! YES! Of course they do. Animal mothers love their babies, just as yours loves you." Though this will likely not be the perennial favorite among Carle's creations, it has an appealing twinkle. At book's end is a roundup of the specific names of each animal baby, its parents and group name (e.g., for sheep: the baby is a lamb, a ewe and ram are its parents, a group is a flock). Ages 3-6. (Jan.) Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.

For adult readers, the title question needs, of course, no answer, which is perhaps a pity because it deprives us of another excuse to enjoy Eric Carle's bountiful picture book about animal parents. Carle poses the same query about nine other species, including penguins, swans, and elephants, all of whom, surprisingly enough, do have mothers. This lighthearted, brightly colored picture book is a boon for preschoolers and everyone else who brims with expectation. An ideal read-aloud for expectant brothers and sisters.Publishers Weekly
Nearly a dozen animals are introduced, substituted into the titular question.

Children are fascinated with animals and are particularly intrigued by young animals and their mothers. Eric Carle uses animals to answer the age-old question of whether all mothers love their babies. An off-camera narrator repeatedly asks whether a particular animal has "a mother, too" again and again in this repetitive and comforting tale. After seeing one baby animal after another paired up with its mother, the all-important question is asked: "And do animal mothers love their babies, too?" True to form, the reader is reassured that all mothers love their babies, even mother animals. Carle's signature collages make this easy-to-read story much more than your typical beginning reader. His use of color and composition make this a book a must for every child's book collection. The back matter of this book offers more information on each animal mentioned. The name of the baby (e.g., lamb) and its parents (e.g., ewe and ram) are included as well as what a group of each animal is called (e.g., flock). Preschoolers will add these new words to their vocabularies as fast as they can hear them! 2000, HarperCollins, Ages 3 to 6.—Joan Kindig, Ph.D.
