Book Reviews of Guess How Much I Love You
Book Review: Guess How Much I love You (Review by Altin Campbell)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. It focuses on the quality time a parent spends with their child and the extent of their love for each other. My parents purchase this book for me when I was in 2nd grade, and I still like this book! The art graphics are great too. The art impacts and reinforces the depth and warmth of compassion shared by the father and the son. Even though this book is for people up to 3rd grade; if every now-and- then you still like to lay your head on your dad's shoulder, or if every blue-moon you still like to rest with your mom's arm wrapped around you; then this is a great book for all ages. In looking at and listening to my parents you never out grow the memories or the need for confimation of your parents love. I like this book because the content leaves you feeling happy and peaceful and definitely cared for. The only sad part was when the son fell asleep before hearing his dad's final words of the evening. But, even that part was cool-beacuse the reader and/or the listener is insured that the father loves his son. This story also could be titled as "A Father and Son Day Out" or "Chillin With Dad"This is a must read. I recommend this book to parents who love their children and to children who love their parents every where of all ages and nationality.
Book Review: Wonderful, cute and fun to read to baby
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter loves this book, she got the cardboard edition as a gift when she was a couple months old and is currently six and a half months and has had it read to her many many times. The biggest problem I have now is getting her to listen to me or look at it with out trying to chew the book, but I suspect that she'll outgrow that stage (someday!). This story is very adorable and I think that it is comforting for a child to know that their parent(s) can and that they do love them more, after all little ones are so self centered and it is our job as good parents to help them grow out of that by showing that there is great reward in loving others more than they love us. I think there is a great allegory here about God's love for his children too, so reading this to a child can maybe get us adults to think a little deeper about our own value. This is a great story, a great book and should be given to and read to the very young (don't wait until they can read- start now). A very strong recommendation.Book Review: The Best Book Ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this book for our daughter when she was 9 months old. She has loved it ever since. I can say without any doubt, this is her favorite book (she currently has 173 books). She loves it so much that we bought 3 copies of the pop-up version. One for her to play with & read on her own (this one has been glued back together 6 times now), one in good condition that we read to her & a spare just in case something happens to one of the others. Since we live in Singapore, we don't own a car, so we often take taxis or use the subway system. Depending on the time of day, it can take up to 40 minutes to get home. When she has her book, she barely even notices. She is now 15 months old & although she can't read the book, she mimics the sound effects I make when reading it to her at the same places I do them. This was a more than wise investment. We read it together & I believe she is really starting to understand the concept of having parents who love her "up the moon & back!"Book Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
That's the most beautiful book for a young child that I know of. It perfectly expresses the mother's love. I enjoy reading it every night before my daughter goes to bed. I started to read it to her over a year ago when she was only two years old, and now she can read it with me. It has created a special bond between us. I highly recommend this book to any loving mother. In addition to that I also recommend a book series titled "Why Some Cats are Rascals ( Book 3)" containing lovely and inspiring stories for older children. My other recommendations go to:
Love You Forever
The Giving Tree
Corduroy
Book Review: Appealing on many levels-a great book for toddlers.
Summary: 5 Stars
There is a lot to like about this book. First of all, it has a very positive love message for fathers and sons, not all that common a theme in children's books. Secondly, the sort of "one-ups-man-ship" theme is on that naturally appeals to kids that age. The story itself is sweet without being cloying, and the illustrations are first rate.A great book for older pre-schoolers. As has been noted in many previous reviews, reading the book seems to stimulate a "how much do you love me" game with the kids and parents who read the book a lot. Given that the desire to be loved is one key need at this age group, a book that stimulates you to talk and play with your child in a way that distinctly communicates your love for him/her has got to be a good thing.
This is one of those books your kid's will grow out of before you do-much to your sorrow.
I highly recommend it.
