This is a great book, not just for kids, but for the parents who have to read it to them. My kids (4 1/2 and 3) love the slightly quirky, colorful illustrations and the simple, rhyming text. They always laugh at the fun paintings of elephants with strollers and acorn men. And it's just as much of a treat for me to read after having to endure so many mind-numbing, repititious kids books. Definitely one of the best kids/parents books to come along since Don Carter's "Heaven's All-Star Jazz Band."

The story is a wonderful expression of love from a parent to a child. The story is simple and beautiful and the illustrations are old fashioned yet very new. My 14 month old loves the story and the extra kisses that inevitably become part of the reading.

And I am a little surprised about that because he's very much a smash up cars, trucks, big wheels, type of kid. When I read it to him the first time there was complete silence. Very unusual for my boy!!! Then we read it again, and again. We looked at the pictures as we went, he was asking questions, wanted to know what the acorn was, and the comet. Then after we had read it again, he took the book to his father and "read" him the story. The illustrations are just beautiful.

This short story is a mother desribing her love for her child using items in their lives. A sweet short story. My daughter loves the soft pictures and the little animals at play on each page.

I love this book. I bought it because of the illustrator. Even though my son is 2.5 I still love reading this one to him. A great addition to any bookshelf.

When my boys were 2- and 3-years old, I'd read this bedtime book to them regularly because the verse and illustrations were soothing. There were nights when a soft rockabye and some gentle verses were a better way to get them to sleep than a Dr. Suess book.

If you are just building your bedtime reading collection, I recommend this book along with these other rockabye favorites of ours:

* Bedtime: First Words, Rhymes, and Actions (Board book (various authors)

* Rock-A-Bye Farm by Diane Johnston Hamm

* I Love You: A Rebus Poem by Jean Marzollo

You can check my reviews on all of these books. Enjoy.

My daughter loves this book. She wants to read this book every night since receiving it for Christmas. She has it memorized! She also enjoys the illustrations, as do I.

Share this with the one you love and enjoy a sweet, and unique picture book that reveals just how magical a love can be. Beautiful pastel portraits liven the pages of this simply sweet love story that is meant to be shared.

Very sweet book. Love the author and illustrator. The pictures are beautiful, and it's a short sweet book. My daughter likes to hear it over and over again.

My 1 year old son loves this book, he asks me to read it to him several times a day. The rhymes and pictures just draw kids in.
