Format:Paperback
I loved the book because I'm developing a library for my son who is three and is adopted. Choco looks all over for his mother thinking she probably looks just like him. He finds an animal that may have a beak or a wing but doesn't look like him and becomes hopeless. He is heard weeping in the forest by a Mother Bear. She asks him what is wrong and he proceeds to tell her his tale. She listens sympathically and asks him what his mother would do in a case like this and he describes all the comforting things a mother would do. Then without hesitation, Mother Bear does exactly what he needs. She takes him home where he is introduced to her "children" which are all different animals (not one bear child). Lovely, book that can be used as discussion later on when child is older. Thumbs up!

We bought this through a transracial adoption source. I am very glad we did. It is a short tale of a great search and discovery. Our daughter is 17 months old and loves to hear the story over and over. This story shows that you don't have to "look" like your parents to be a family. Love and support can come from the most unlikely combination of families.

My three year old loves this. The different reactions of my two boys were interesting - at the end my three year old ( not adopted)said "so where is Choco's real mummy?" and his brother (aged six, adopted) replied " haven't you understood the story? His mummy is the bear!" They both liked the ending though were a bit disturbed by Choco starting out completely alone (which is avoiding,I suppose to simplify things , the question of where he came from in the first place which is one that is dealt with in the Crazy Cakes book better). I don't really like the pictures , not my taste. To sum up,worth it but not as the only child's adoption book you have, you need others to complete the story.

A Mother for Choco
This book is excellent to help children age around 5 to 8 who are either in foster care, being adopted or have lost their parents.

A sweet story
I think this book is a good introduction to the concept of adoption for very young children. It has an important message: that a child's 'real' parents are the ones who love, and... Read more
