Of course they do -- just like me and you! From baby kangaroos, called joeys, to baby elephants, called calfs, every kind of animal has a mother. Inside this playful and colorful book you will see all sorts of different babies with their mothers, all with one thing in common: Their mothers love them very, very much -- just like your mother loves you! Come right in and meet the family -- the animal family, that is -- in words and pictures by Eric Carle.
我们人类都有妈妈，那么猫、狗、企鹅和长颈鹿也有妈妈吗？
翻开艾瑞．卡尔的《袋鼠也有妈妈吗》，我们就会得到答案了：「动物都有妈妈吗？当然有！就像我和你一样！」
这本书为孩子介绍了十一种可爱动物的妈妈，像是小袋鼠躲在袋鼠妈妈的腹袋里、小天鹅骑在天鹅妈妈的背上，还有小海豚、小狮子、小绵羊等，每一种小动物都被慈爱的母亲所呵护。
书中以游戏式的简单问答句：「袋鼠也有妈妈吗？」「有！就像你有我也有！」来陈述故事，每翻一页就换一种动物，邀请小朋友、大朋友一起大声的将故事念出来。
重复式的句型让小朋友轻松模仿，成功的跨出阅读的第一步。整本书的主题是「爱」，他让小朋友了解到，爱是跨越各种藩篱，地球上的每一个妈妈都是疼孩子的，连动物也不例外，孩子在阅读的同时，也得到了亲情的抚慰。

"Yes! A kangaroo has a mother. Just like me and you." Tremendously popular author/illustrator Eric Carle needs no introduction. Readers wait eagerly for every new picture book--and nobody will be disappointed with this one. In this Very Simple story, an unseen child asks variations on the same question: "Does a lion/monkey/dolphin have a mother, too?" The response is always the same: a big colorful "YES!" with the soothing reassurance that, "like me and you," everyone has a mother. Repetition is the name of the game, here, because nothing comforts like reiteration.
