Goodreads review by Calista on July 29, 2019

We loved the animals in this book. This is a little cheesy, sappy in the best ways possible. It’s very sweet and it’s just what I needed right now. I love it. My favorite is the cover of the giraffe and the girl kissing. It’s why I got the book. I’m a sucker for giraffes. You know I would make a sto......more

Goodreads review by Westminster on May 18, 2018

In my opinion, this is a fabulous story of absolute acceptance of your child. Basically, the story is no matter what animal you may change into your mother and father will recognize some trait of yours. Nancy Tillman is the author and illustrator; she has produced many other titles--including a favo......more

Goodreads review by Abigail on March 20, 2020

Presented in rhyming verse, the text in this reassurance tale from Nancy Tillman, who is perhaps best known for her picture-book On the Night You Were Born, is a record of a mother's ability to always recognize her child, no matter what disguise he employs, or what shape he assumes. It begins: "......more

Goodreads review by Judy & Marianne from on June 19, 2020

Everyone needs unconditional love. Most picture books are written for children in a specific age group for totally understandable reasons.

Quotes

“Young children adore pretending to be animals, and Tillman's (The Crown on Your Head) insight into the wish to turn into another creature powers this book. The narrator, a handsome woman whose red clothing adds a spot of contrasting color to each spread, claims that infallible radar allows her to identify the child she loves no matter what animal form the child decides to adopt. 'If early one morning, you put on your socks/ and declare, "For today, I'm a little red fox!"/ I'd say "My, my... that is quite a disguise!"/ But I'd know it was you by the gleam in your eyes.' Each verse subtly affirms an aspect of the child's appearance ('your grin'; 'your clever tiptoes'), and Tillman's silky, digitally painted spreads show the woman interacting in joyful and inventive ways with each animal: crouched in a field with a baby pig, ice skating with bear cubs, and dancing with blue-footed boobies. Even kids who draw back from syrupy love language will enjoy the conceit that nothing can fool a mother.” —Publishers Weekly
