Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1—Slightly offbeat, slick computerized illustrations give this paean to parental love an unusual and effective new twist. The rhyming text, clearly intended to be a dialogue between a variety of children and their caregivers, is concise and to the point: "do you love me?/always, dear./do you need me?/ever near." It continues in this vein, ending with: "hug me, hold me./snug and tight./snuzzle closer./kiss good night." With no more than two sentences per page, some of them fragments, the text is easily accessible to the youngest listeners, as well as beginning readers. The artwork, done in bright primary colors on solid backgrounds, depicts close-ups of the faces of large-nosed, round-eyed, mouthless Q-Bertesque creatures. The surprisingly appealing characters, which resemble everything from bears to rabbits to elephants, are portrayed touching noses on most spreads. The reassuring language, soothing rhythm, and charming characters will hold young listeners' attention and likely have a soporific effect at bedtime. A refreshing addition for libraries looking for something a little bit different to spice up their picture-book collections.—Amy Lilien-Harper, The Ferguson Library, Stamford, CT

Cute and cuddly,

This review is from: Do You Love Me? (Hardcover)
In a simple Q & A format, this short book demonstrates parents' unconditional love for their children. The computerized illustrations are cute and appealing. A bonus for parents of adopted children is that the "parent" and "child" characters don't match (eg, an elephant and a hippo; a long-nosed whats-it and a rabbit), but this will probably go unnoticed by most young readers unless pointed out.

This lovely book answers the questions all children have. Do you love me? Yes of course. Will you leave me? Never! The designs make you want to rub noses with your little one like an Eskimo. Adorable.
