A message that all children need to hear on a regular basis January 25, 2008
When my daughter was young, I read this book to her. Only, all the references to the female parent were replaced by references to a male one. It is about the parental love for a child that endures despite the occasional bad behavior. She needed to know that the love came from me as well. It is good message that all children need to hear on a regular basis.
Why Parents Love Their Children October 23, 2007
"The Way Mothers Are" is an endearing story about the love between a parent and child.
Through questioning and self-discovery, a little cat finds out why its mother loves it. She loves little cat even when little cat is being naughty, even when little cat screams, even though he paints pictures and when little cat picks up the toys. Yet none of these are the main reason why Mother loves little cat. I don't want to give away the ending but it is truly inspiring.
Fathers should not be deterred from purchasing this book simply because of the title. The message is appropriate for all family members.
Very good book how much a mother love her kid March 15, 2007

This delightfull story tells about a kitten who asks his mother cat why she loves him. He insists that it;s because he is good somedays, but she tells him it is because she cares for him and loved him since he was born.

This book is a family favorite. Children can identify with the kitten who worries that his misdeeds will cut off his mother's love, while parents reading the book are rewarded with some sly illustrations over which they can have an adult laugh, a rare quality in preschool bookland.Above all, the book provides an opportunity for parents to reassure their own occasionally naughty offspring of their unconditional love. Our family culture would be poorer without this book in our lives; I'm grateful that it was available to us.
