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.
我們人類都有媽媽，那么貓、狗、企鵝和長頸鹿也有媽媽嗎？
翻開艾瑞．卡爾的《袋鼠也有媽媽嗎》，我們就會得到答案了：「動物都有媽媽嗎？當然有！就像我和你一樣！」
這本書為孩子介紹了十一種可愛動物的媽媽，像是小袋鼠躲在袋鼠媽媽的腹袋里、小天鵝騎在天鵝媽媽的背上，還有小海豚、小獅子、小綿羊等，每一種小動物都被慈愛的母親所呵護。
書中以游戲式的簡單問答句：「袋鼠也有媽媽嗎？」「有！就像你有我也有！」來陳述故事，每翻一頁就換一種動物，邀請小朋友、大朋友一起大聲的將故事念出來。
重復式的句型讓小朋友輕松模仿，成功的跨出閱讀的第一步。整本書的主題是「愛」，他讓小朋友了解到，愛是跨越各種藩籬，地球上的每一個媽媽都是疼孩子的，連動物也不例外，孩子在閱讀的同時，也得到了親情的撫慰。

"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.
