Children's Book of the Month

I Love You, Too! by Michael Foreman
Published by Andersen, 2013

Little Bear tells his Dad how much he loves him. He loves him more than all the toys, more than all the birds in the trees and the stars in the sky. In fact Little Bear loves his Dad, A Lot! But it is bedtime and Dad’s feeling rather tired too. Every time he tries to leave, having tucked Little Bear in, safe and sound, Dad must hear just a bit more how much Little Bear loves him.

Illustrations and storytelling complement each other in bringing the very best of picture books to life and in I Love You, Too! by Michael Foreman this is expertly achieved. Few words and lots of repetition will help little ones anticipate what’s coming next to add to the fun and their enjoyment of the story.

There’s loads of detail and variety, loads of scope for discussion and simple activities like finding things or counting as you turn the pages. The ending is sure to appeal to tired parents, too!

A super choice for dark winter evenings.
