Sweet Book!

This is a sweet book about a mother and child comparing how much they love each other. The illustrations are bright and attractive to children and the book is done in a 'flip book' format where one side is read one way and you turn it around to read the other side. [One side being the mother's story and one being the child's]. My 5 year old and her Grandmother adore this book and read it over and over!

Lovely story

This is a lovely book in the way it doesn't end (you flip the book upside down when you get to the middle and read it back again), and the ideas are lovely. I didn't think a lot of the illustrations, however. They were a little clunky, they didn't look skilled. But that just might be a personal preference.

The only I Love You More book you will ever need

There are quite a few children's books out there in this vein. Most if not all are excellent, too many to mention here, but the standout ones are, [[ASIN:0439673631 I Love You Through And Through]], [[ASIN:0316019852 The I LOVE YOU Book]], [[ASIN:1250017971 Wherever You Are: My Love Will Find You]], [[ASIN:0688159788 I Love You As Much...]] and [[ASIN:0312601557 On the Night You Were Born]](all of these are most excellent!) But if you can only buy one, it may well be that this is the one you want. Very nice and magical for young minds. This is a dual sided book. So, when you get to the center and turn the book to read the center pages and start over, it appears as if you have started over again from the beginning but with a different book. Little ones will be impressed but the words themselves are very appealing to parents as well. Highly recommended.

Cutest book ever!

This book is adorable! Every page the mother tells her son in a different way how much she loves him, then at the end you flip it and the boy tells his mom how much he loves her. Big words, colorful pictures, cute concept..my 2 year olds favorite book as well as mine!

Last couple pages were ripped out

I bought the book I love you More. I choose to buy this book because it's such a short, child's book and was like $12-15 in the store and thought it seemed cheaper than that. I purchased this book and as I received it in the mail, 2 or 3 pages had been missing. I was very disappointed to have received a defective product. It wasn't terribly cheaper than what was in the store. I would've paid more for the book rather than have pages missing.

Great Message

I read this to my 6 year old. Bought it when he was 5 and he still loves to read it with me. Love the way it's written and love to message!
