Review: THE I LOVE YOU BOOK

I love you when you give me kisses.
I love you when you need hugs...
Most of all, I love you just the way you are.

I have to say that it's been awhile since I was THIS excited to share a book with my children. But Todd Parr's (of Todd's World) "THE I LOVE YOU BOOK" came today and it's just beautiful. Not only pretty in a physical sense, but it's got a beautiful message.

Visually, the book is gorgeous. It has a thick cut-out front cover with a silver-lined heart. (I know the picture looks flat. Go figure.) The book's title is overhead in matching silver letters. Through the heart you can see a child with his arms thrown out wide, smiling and looking like he's ready to hug you. The artwork is typical Todd-- bright and sunny, in brilliant primary colors.

What I love BEST is the message of Unconditional Love which is repeated in a dozen and more ways. The books starts off by saying that "I love you when you are silly", then it says "I love you when you are sad". It goes on to say what all we mom's and dad's would say if there wasn't so much homework and cooking and cleaning to do. That we love these little people all the time. (Even when they get on our nerves, or we are kranky :o)

As Parr reminds us, we love them when they sleep... and when they don't. When they're sick... and when they are better.

This is just a delightful book about love. Highly recommended for snuggling and bedtime. Good Read-Aloud.
