Scholastic: I Love You Because You're You (Board Book)

This heart - touching board book showcases a mother fox's deep affection for her little one. With greeting - card sentiments and award - winning artwork by McPhail (known for If You Were My Bunny), it's a real treat. Reassuring quatrains like 'I love you when you're sad/ and need a kiss and hug./ I love you when you're playful/ and rolling on the rug' beautifully convey unconditional love. McPhail's cozy watercolor illustrations vividly show the child's various moods, whether the 'bashful' youngster hiding behind the mother's knee when guests arrive or looking up with pride when giving a valentine. In this warm and fuzzy book, a parent's love truly knows no bounds. It has an ISBN of 9780545029315, 24 pages, and is perfect for kids aged 3 - 5, from Pre - K to K grade.

This board book is a great read - aloud item for parents to share with their 3 - 5 - year - old kids. To use it, simply sit down with your child, open the book, and start reading the sweet quatrains together while looking at the wonderful illustrations. When reading, take your time to point out the details in the pictures and talk about the different emotions shown. As for storage, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors of the watercolor illustrations from fading. Be careful when your child handles it as it's a board book, but still avoid rough play to prevent any damage to the pages. This book is not a toy, so don't let kids chew or tear it. Enjoy this lovely story of love with your little one!
