Vintage 1960 Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman | Beginner Books I Can Read It All By Myself | Iconic Teal Hardcover First Edition Era | Beloved Classic Children's Book

A tiny bird hatches alone. The nest is empty, the tree is quiet, and Mother is nowhere to be found. So the wide-eyed baby bird tumbles out into the big, noisy world with one trembling question on his beak: “Are you my mother?” What follows is the sweetest, funniest, most heart-tugging search in children’s literature. He asks a kitten (nope), a hen (nope), a dog, a cow, even a rumbling old SNORT that lifts him high into the sky. P.D. Eastman’s bold black lines and soft pops of color turn every page into a little drama—wide stares, worried wings, and that delicious moment when the enormous steam shovel roars “SNORT!” and the whole roomful of kids gasps in delighted terror. This is the actual early hardcover edition—the one with the unmistakable turquoise cover, the proud “I Can Read It All By Myself” badge, and that perfect matte finish that feels like 1960 in your hands. The corners show honest gentle playwear from decades of tiny fingers turning pages at bedtime, but the spine is tight, the pages bright, and every panicked “Are YOU my mother?” still lands like the first time. Sixty-five years later, it remains the ultimate story of longing, mistaken identity, and the happiest reunion you’ll ever read aloud. One copy. One little lost bird. One giant dose of childhood magic. Discovered by Treasures Of Bako - Have we got a gem for you!
