Summary: Great Message, Great Book
Comment: 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
Comment: 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: Too much for the age level for which it's intended
Comment: 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?"
