always a favorite - had to buy one for the new baby in the family!Book Review: Good book, character names a bit of a struggle
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the second book now that I thought was sweet and then I read the 1-star reviews to discover the appalling and corrupted adult interpretation placed on it - that it is a book about competition and that the little nutbrown hare can never 'out love' the big nutbrown hare. A small child doesn't see this as a competition of who loves more, at least not in the way an adult would. A child tries to express his or her love, and any 'trump' or 'one up' by the parent that other reviewers interpret is not felt that way by a child hearing this story but is felt as a solid affirmation of the undying love of a parent. Take the alternative outcome into consideration for a second. A small child, an attached child, always has faith that his parents love him above and beyond anything in this world, that he is the center of their world (a natural state of narcissim) but all of a sudden that child contemplates for a second that he loves his parents more than his parents love him? Let's continue to let our children feel 'out loved' if that is what the negative reviewers would call it! I can't imagine there is anything negative about that! I only give the story 4 stars by the fact that the long drawn out character names can be somewhat of a struggle to repeat over and over after a long day :)Book Review: Great Book for Cuddling...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've read this book for a few years to my niece and have now started with my infant son.
It reminds me of the phone game I played with many of my relatives as a young child..."I love you more. No I love you more. I love you an infinity plus one."
I loved the way comparing the quantity of love made me feel when I was far away from some of my loved ones.
When I read this book to the little ones I love, I feel the same warmth inside and hope they will too.
Highly recommended, especially if the "I love you more" game is a family tradition.
Book Review: Do you know how much I love you?
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is so sweet. I have a 12 year old daughter and of course this book is appropriate for children much younger but I just had to get it for her because when she was very little she didn't know how to express how much she loved us. She would say she loved us "much and much and much". She still writes that in notes to me and her father. When I came across this book it reminded me of that. She loved it and I hope she has it to pass down to her children one day.
