5 out of 5 stars Such a cute book   September 17, 2008
My 9 month son adores this book. It is a cute, sweet story for any little one and I think he will continue to love it for a long time. His 4 year older brother likes to join in too when I read it.


5 out of 5 stars Get this book!   September 7, 2008
Please get this book. We are adopting and it has been great to read to our kids and eventually to our son. I've bought several to give to friends. It is great for adopting and non-adopting families. Great!


5 out of 5 stars Beautiful!   August 3, 2008
I cried reading this book, because it is so beautiful. Recommend it for all kind of families with small children, my son just loved it.


5 out of 5 stars A mother for Choco; a story for my daughter   March 25, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I absolutely adore this book. My sister gave it to us before we traveled to China to adopt our daughter. She's just over two now and has read this book with me dozens of times. We both love the illustrations, and even at a very young age, she "gets" the idea that Choco finds a mother in Mrs. Bear, regardless of the fact that they look nothing alike. (I confess I still get misty every time I read it.) The message is delightfully done--not schmaltzy, not overdone. I would recommend this to any family--adoptive or not.


5 out of 5 stars great book!   March 25, 2008
love this book. it gently opens a discussion about what being a mom to a child really means. we dont always "look" like our children and this book addresses that. specifically good for adopted children.
