I LOVE YOU, GOOD NIGHT Buller, Jon 2005 14866 From the Publisher I love you like frogs love flies! I love you like pigs love pies! As a child gets ready for bed, this sweet book evokes all the ways parents can say, "I love you." Some ways are silly, some are heartfelt, but all of them describe unconditional affection. This enduring bedtime favorite is now available in a sturdy board edition - the perfect way to say good night. From The Critics Publishers Weekly In a board book love letter from mother (or female caregiver) to child, I Love You, Good Night by Jon Buller and Susan Schade, illus. by Bernadette Pons, a child gets reassurance of the adult's affection in everyday pleasures: "I love you like I love blueberry pancakes!" the motherly mouse says. "I love you like frogs love flies!" she says near the pond, and of course the title phrase comes at bedtime. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information. Children's Literature - Sheilah Egan As the day progresses, a mother mouse uses different similes to explain how much she loves her little one. "I love you like mice love cheese. / I love you like vines love trees." Many of the little scenes show them doing something together in nature, which allows for a bit of discussion between reader and child. "I love you like wind loves blowing. / I love you like plants love growing." The illustrator has paid attention to the details, as we see the dripping raincoat and muddy boots hanging in the little mouse's bedroom after the page "I love you like boots love splashing in puddles." One sentence on a page keeps the text simple and tied to the illustrations. Each page rhymes with the next, giving the text a nice flow. This board book will be a reassuring bedtime read for the young audience. 2006, Simon & Schuster, Ages 3 mo. to 2.
