Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman

 (Graded Readers)

I've previously recorded a version of this book for my ESL Listening Storybook project.  

And I also posted about it for my grammar questions.  

And here I am posting about it again.  (I recently used this book with a group of students who to practice their reading.)

So for all that, you would think I was a big fan of this book.  But truth be told, I never liked this book when I was a kid.  I always found it boring, and repetitive, and the ending I thought had very little pay-off.

But, despite my own lack of enthusiasm, it has remained a popular book over the years, and is still in bookstores and libraries everywhere.

And it is good for beginner readers, because of it's simple words and repetition of vocabulary.  Which is another reason I used it.  (In addition just the fact that it was readily available in my school library.)
