Review
An inquisitive puppy wanders the barnyard looking for its mother. The pup encounters six animals and asks "Are you my mommy?" Each double page spread shows the wide-eyed cute pup questioning the adult animal. The adult animal answers who they are and each reveals their baby hidden behind a fairly sturdy flap. (For example the sheep says "No, I'm a sheep and ... here's my lamb.") Finally on the final spread the pup finds his mother. The text is simple for its audience. Children will learn the names of several animals and their young. No new ground is covered here but it is a comforting, simple book with friendly, sweet illustrations.
