Customer Reviews

Great for Multi-Racial Families

A mother robin, questioning the appearance of various animal babies, comments "You don't look like your mother!" In the end, her own children do not resemble her, and she loves and cares for every one of them anyway! A super book to share with adopted or multi-racial children who 'do not look like their mother'.

A very fine survey of differences

Lilith Jones' beautiful, warm drawings are realistic and fine accompaniments to this simple story of various baby animals who don't resemble their parents. Animal mothers and babies are profiled in You Don't Look Like Your Mother, a very fine survey of differences.
