This is an adorable little story about a little mouse who can't seem to communicate with his mom. We all have those moments, and I suppose this book is as much for parents as it is for children, encouraging us to truly listen to one another. The illustrations are so cute and the story is sweet, perfect for bedtime. Our girls are just about at the age where this story is too young for them, too 'babyish,' but we enjoyed reading this book together anyway. (And I had fun giving them lots of kis

Mother, Mother, I Want Another brings some humor to bedtime, as baby mouse cries for another...but, another WHAT ?. Mrs. Mouse mistakenly believes baby mouse wants another mother. Baby mouse wants what all little children want...another kiss goodnight.
This picture book sneakily introduces just how important those pesky punctuation marks can be! Beautiful, colorful illustrations capture animal facial expressions with delightful joy.

Another great book from my childhood. It's a great way to introduce the fun/confusion that you can create with our language. The baby mouse keeps saying "mother, mother, I want another" and his poor mother tries to find her baby various new "mothers". He finally finishes by adding that wahat he really wants is "another kiss" to which he receives kisses from everyone before going to bed. How cute is that for a small kid!

I gave this book three stars because I thought it was a little strange that Mrs. Mouse thought that baby mouse wanted another mother. However, this book seems more appropriate for young children. It has repetition, some rhyming, and I think kids would enjoy the different sounds the animals make. Children can even participate in the story by making the different animals sounds.

This book is so adorable! Its about this little mouse getting ready to go to bed and his mother gives him a kiss goodnight. After the kiss, the little mouse says, "mother, mother, I want another!" Mrs. Mouse takes this the wrong way and goes all over to try to find little mouse another mother. In the end, little mouse meant "another kiss" not "another mother". Very CUTE!

My mother found this book when I was in grade school...it made me giggle. I found it again a few years ago and read it to Emily and Aubrey. We all giggled. It is a fun story about how a simple misunderstanding can lead to much confusion. And a little bit about what great lengths a mother will go to because she loves her child.

A cute story about a little mouse that doesnt want to go to bed, so he asks for another mother. His mother calls on all her friends to help the little mouse get settled in bed. Nothing seems to work, so the little mouse asks for a kiss, which he receives from all the mothers includung his own.

Great story about misunderstanding a bedtime request!! Lots of animals and sing-song passages. Used on 7/27/2010 for Bedtime stories. Theme: Night. Followed by "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" on CD and vocally with animals from the book portrayed in song.

Baby wants another - another what? Another mother? Mother mouse searches for her community moms to come be a 2nd mom and they all try, but what is it that baby mouse really wants? Wonderfully illustrated and wonderfully cute.

Miscommunication in a children's book! This book is cute to read for bedtime or to pass the time. It incorporates several different animals in the pictures for children to identify as well.

When Little Mouse responds to his mother’s good-night kiss with, “I want another, Mother,” she mistakenly believes he wants a different mother and sets out to find one. This tale, charming if a little repetetive, was originally published in 1978, and here is given new life by Oklahoma artist Jon Goodell. His winsome oil-on-canvas illustrations feature a pleasant interplay of light and dark that lends a cozy feel to the bedtime tale. Parents who share this story should also be prepared to share o

Cute, Cute, Cute! I could read this one again and again! Mother, Mother, I want another! Little mouse wants another good night kiss, but his mother misinterprets his request to mean that he wants a another, different mother.

One of my favorite children's books. In fifth grade I chose this book to perform in the young storytellers club. Each week we went to younger grades and recited a story by memory. It is a fun book and was always well received. It has since been published with new illustrations, but is still great. We checked it out from the library this week and Elanor has wanted to read it every night.

The paintings are good, but not as unique as some. The story is very sweet (when her baby asks "may I have another mother?" she goes trying to find him other mothers only to find that what he really wanted was another kiss) but slightly annoys me just because the child has to throw a tantrum before he's understood and the mother is obviously jumping to spoil him.

This is the perfect before-bed story. Mother mouse misunderstands baby mouse's request at bedtime. She scrambles to find another mother to give baby mouse a kiss. The illustrations are sweet and heartwarming. This was one of my gift books for the year.

This was one of my favorites as a child. My Mom would read it to my brother and I before we went to bed. I think she read it at least 100 times. My brother always requested this one! Love it!
