Book Description

May 2008 2 and up

Big Bear and Little Bear love each other SO much that their love stretches high up into the mountains, far away to the stars, and down deep to the bottom of the sea. It is big enough to fill the whole wide world. Lush, brightly-colored illustrations, from the
illustrator of Little Honey Bear and the Smiley Moon, capture the humor and intimacy of a very special relationship with irresistible tenderness and grace.

Children will treasure this reminder of how much they are loved.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS—A simple text and spacious spreads speak of the boundless love of a parent for a child, in this case Big Bear and Little Bear. The soft-focus illustrations blend well with the text to carry the message. However, some of the metaphors may be difficult for a preschooler to comprehend, such as, "I love you as bright as the sun" or "I love you as blue as the sky." Sam McBratney's Guess How Much I Love You (Candlewick, 2003), Barbara Joosee's Mama, Do You Love Me? (1991) and Papa, Do You Love Me? (2005, both Chronicle), and Margaret Wise Brown's The Runaway Bunny (HarperCollins, 1942) all convey the same emotions in more understandable terms.—Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OH

A book about LOVE June 26, 2008
By Susan
Format:Hardcover
I just bought this book for my 6-month-old granddaughter. It will be a book she can grow with, as her mother reads it over and over... "I love you as deep as the sea... I love you as high as the mountains..." I can hear my daughter saying, "And that's A LOT of love because the sea is VERY DEEP, and the mountains are VERY HIGH!"

The sweetest book December 3, 2010
By Jen D
Format:Hardcover
I got this for my daughter a few years ago when she was three. I have read it to her at least 2 nights a week ever since. Soon after we got it she started making up her own phrases like "I love you as big as the car" and "I love you as big as the Earth", whatever she can think of, and we have little contests to see who can come up with the most clever new way to say I love you. I have a trip coming up so I typed this out and put it in my wallet so I can still call her and read her the words on the phone, because this is the book that means the most to her. I would recommend this book for any young child.

I am addicted to buying books for my daughter and this is one of my top three favorites. I actually get choked up when I read it to her! Even though she's only 2, I'm already planning on sticking it in her suitcase when she leaves for college.
