Read it another time and another time and......

In this book, mother mouse is getting her son off to bed and kisses him goodnight. He tells her he wants another, mother and she takes that to mean he wants another mom. What he really wants is another kiss but she scurries off to find another mother for him. Mother mouse finds a mother duck, a mother frog, a mother pig, and a mother donkey and all of them kiss little mouse but poor baby mouse doesn't want another mother! He is finally able to tell his mother that all he wants is another kiss! So she gives him two and tucks him into bed. I loved this book and so did my 2 year old. The pictures are so detailed and darling. This is one to keep on your list of must-haves.

Mother, Mother, I want another

This was my favorite book as a child. My mom and I have been trying to find this book for nearly 10 years now. I found it! This is truely the most memorable children's book I ever had. It is the best book you can read to your child!! It is definitely up there in the ranks of Runaway Bunny and Love you Forever!!

This story is a delight!

My 2 year old loves this book. The artwork is wonderful, the animals are so beautifully drawn and dressed and the story is a delight! It's repititious, which is important for young readers and the story is so endearing. It gives you the "warm fuzzies" every time you read it.

Another...KISS!

As a tiny little girl, my mom used to read this to me. (Until I finally memeorized it by myself!) I don't know if she remembers it, but I sure do. It was one of my favorite books. And now that I have a little boy, I want him to know this sweet story as well.

Excellent for any age!!

I have two daughters, 21 & 17. The 21 yr. old wanted this book for her birthday present. The story is so touching that it willremembered for years after it is read. Baby Mouse is so charming in his request for another kiss. His Mother tries to please him but he finally gets enough of the parade of animal mothers! I've shared this story by heart with the children when I teach. My daughters have enjoyed reading this book as young children. They still have fond memories of the pictures and the words from past readings!!
