I Love You So
Summary:
A child asks an adult (as only a child can) about how much and how long and how often they loves him.
Reader Enjoyment Factors:
The illustrations are a nice change from the usual picture book fare. Although not billed as an adoption book, it's a great book for adoptive families, or even a favorite aunt/uncle to share, too.
Content Awareness Factors:
None, really. Not sure the target audience would understand what "temper of the day" means, though.
Little Kid Reaction
Big Kid Reaction
It's nice to read a book that talks about love that isn't just explaining things to a child. It puts into words THEIR questions, the way they would ask them.
Type of Book:
This is a book that puts into words the thoughts kids have about love.

Educational Themes:
The theme is clear: I love you in every possible way from every conceivable angle. Its presentation is such that you could add your own superlatives.

Purchase Recommendation:
Buy! There are other "I Love You" books out there, but the fact that the story is driven by a child's questions make it a nice change.
