From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-K—When the wind blows a mother duck's nest into the air, the eggs land on the back of a turtle and hatch. Four ducklings pop out and ask the turtle, "Are you our Mommy?" As the ducklings go in search of their home, they encounter a variety of familiar animals and approach each of them with the same burning question. At last, the ducklings are reunited with their mother and return with her to a newly secured home. This story is very similar to P. D. Eastman's Are You My Mother? (Random, 1960) but is gentler and less frightening in tone. Although the ducklings are lost, they are together and never really afraid or threatened. The text is simple, with only one or two sentences per page. Morozumi's soft full-page illustrations perfectly match the soothing text. Drawn with muted lines and pastel colors, each picture is detailed, but not busy. The animals are expressive, and the world they live in is green and full of light. Small children will enjoy listening to this charming picture book and developing readers, who know many of the common sight words, should be able to read it on their own.—Donna Cardon, Provo City Library, UT
