not just about parent/child love...:
I bought this book several years ago when Daniel Pinkwater reviewed it on Public Radio. It perfectly describes a relationship between parent and child, where the parent is the stable rock the child craves, the child the ingenuous spirit the adult has lost. I don't see it as being limited to adults and children. I have many of the same feelings about some of my adult friends. I do agree with the reviewer who suggested this is basically an adult book -- I don't think most children will understand... more info
Heart Warming Book:
This book really warms your heart. Perfect for anyone - parents and children. I give it to all of my friends who had a baby or are having a baby... It made me cry after my daughter was born because the book is so touching, yet so simple. It is one my 18 month old daughters favorite books. ENJOY!
Touching book:
LOVE THIS BOOK! It's a great kid-friendly story about the relationship between a parent and child. The pictures are wonderful also. Gave it as a baby shower gift to a good friend but will absolutely get another copy when I have my own children!
An I Love You book that isn't sticky sweet:
This book is heart moving and precious because it is so real. I can't read it without tears in my eyes.
