We love Martin Waddell's books, particularly the ones that have touched our hearts and tickled our funny bones (Once There Were Giants, The Big, Big Sea, The Pig in the Pond). This book fits right in! My daughter, now 3, is at the stage where she loves mama "best of all." And the delightful teasing in this bedtime story gave her a new way to play that game! We are thrilled to find another Waddell book that we hadn't read!

I love this little book. It's a great interactive bedtime story.

The illustrations are warm fuzzies. The little baby kitten is having a great time with this nightly before-I-go-to-bed ritual telling his mama cat about all the people he loves, saving the VERY BEST part to the last.

I think this book will give little pre-school kiddies an elementary awareness of how to show their love and appreciation for their family and their community that they need in order to reach out to others as they grow and are nurtured in their home.

And the fact that the actors in the books are cute little kitties is a good way to help a little kid to be aware of and appreciate the family pets.

This is a charming, cozy book, marred only by its repetition of bad grammar. The author and publishers (what are editors for?) have missed an opportunity to fix the correct form in the minds of children and parents everywhere, and to have it associated with a smiling, shared secret pleasure. No rhyme or rhythm would have been destroyed by saying "Whom do you love?" instead of "Who do you love?" Quite the contrary, in fact: the m of whom lends a certain delicious quality to the question. If you are reading to a non-reader, and can substitute whom for who without detection, this is recommended bedtime reading; if not, skip it.
