I LOVE this book! As a mom and a teacher, this book grabbed me as soon as I read it. The rhyming text and colorful illustrations appeal to all while the message is so heartwarming and simple that anyone who reads it will understand. The specialness of the flip-sided book adds to the excitement of wanting more and feeling fulfulled when it is finished. I can't wait to read it in my classroom and have my students, make their own "I Love Your More Books". What a great gift idea!

What a wonderful story about the special relationship between a mother and her son. Laura Duksta, the author, came to speak at my school (for the teachers) and told us the inspirational story of her life. What a woman! When she read her book to us, it was such a heartwarming story that there was barely a dry eye in the room. I recommend this to everyone, but ESPECIALLY moms with sons!!

A warm, reassuring story related in lilting rhyme I LOVE YOU MORE is the answer to a small boy's question, "Mommy, just how much do you love me?" Her replies are in verse form with simple, everyday objects representing the depth and breadth of her love.

For instance, "I love you higher than the highest bird ever flew. I love you taller than the tallest tree ever grew."

The book is flip-sided so it may be read from front to back or back to front, thus the book never ends just as a mother's love never does.

Illustrations by Karen Kessler are full-page, bright in primary colors.

This is a story so appealing that even when youngsters know it by heart they'll want to hear it again and again. It's a lovely way for mothers to remind young ones of how very much they care.

This is a sweet book about a mother and child comparing how much they love each other. The illustrations are bright and attractive to children and the book is done in a 'flip book' format where one side is read one way and you turn it around to read the other side. [One side being the mother's story and one being the child's]. My 5 year old and her Grandmother adore this book and read it over and over!

My mother bought this book for my 2 1/2 year old son a week ago. Since then, we've read it every night (at his request) and now he just blurts out "I love you more!" (Talk about a heart melter!) I highly recommend this book to everyone as the story and the pictures are just beautiful.

This book is amazing. I am pregnant and read this book to my child in utero. I think it will be a treasured book for my children and me for many years to come. The first time I read this book I was in a very small store. I had just discovered I was pregnant and couldn't stop crying at it's heartwarming message. A must for any child!

My kids' reading skills are beyond most picture books, but that hasn't stopped them from enjoying a clever and touching new book called I Love You More, by Laura Duksta.

The story is simple, and the illustrations are bright and colorful, but it's the design of the book that sets it apart from so many others. Read as a conversation between a boy and his mother from the child's point of view, the dialogue comes to an end in the middle of the book. At that point, you flip the book over and the story begins again, only from the mother's perspective.

It's a never-ending story, and one that will absolutely delight toddlers who are just learning how to read and express themselves. But, as I've seen with my own kids, some books are classics to be left on the shelf and taken down every now and then just for fun, no matter what your age.

My family highly recommends I Love You More. It would make a perfect gift for a new mother who needs to learn that it's never too early to start reading to your children.

I got this as a gift from my boss. I decided to read it to my son, every night before bed time. I started when he was very little and now, at almost 11 months old, his eyes light up when he sees this book in my hands. He loves it! I love the special time we have when we sit together and read. It's such a sweet story, brings tears to my eyes everytime I read it.

This is a really fabulous, touching, heart melting, sweet book! My little boy (4 years old) absolutely loves reading this book to me each night as we snuggle before bed. And all throughout the day he tells me "mommy, i love you more, so much more than you've ever known!" which is a quote from the book!...
It was given to us by someone we love, and I know it is a book we will be reading for many years!

I bought this for my wife for V Day, and our 10 Month old son LOVES this book. We've read to him since 2 Months and this is his favorite one for some reason. I think it's the size and colors. A good purchase!
