Product Description

I Love You More is a book about love presented as a children's book. It is a flip-sided book meaning it starts from both sides and ends in the middle. Like love it actually never ends, and it represents the two sides of love the giving and receiving. The book has a heartfelt story, a rhyming and rhythmic text and child-like illustrations that make it an instatnt favorite. It is a story told between a mother and child that people enjoy sharing with loved ones of all ages. "I Love You longer than the longest path ever wound. I Love You prettier than the prettiest flower ever found," says the mom. "I Love You quieter than the quietest caterpillar ever creeped. I Love You further than the furthest frog ever leaped," replies the son. The replies continue until the middle where they both insist, "I Love You More!" When our children know they are loved anything is possible. I Love You More captures the power and magic of unconditional love. The book quickly turns into a treasured game families will cherish forever. Love transends gender, age, race and religion. Love is all there is. Too often love is assumed and not expressed. Love should be seen, heard, expressed, shown, felt and more! Love heals, love empowers and love erases fear. Love is the most powerful gift we can share with one another. I Love You More is access to that gift. Enjoy.

ePregnancy Magazine May 2004 Editor's Book Pick No one understands unconditional love better than mothers. Well, maybe their children do. Disgiused as a children's book, this story is all about how much one person can love another. It's a flip-sided book that ends in the middle and starts from either side. "I love you more than," begins a mother when questioned by her curious son. "I love you more than," begins the son on the opposite side of the book when his mother asks the same question. Too often we assume our children know we love them because of all we do for them. But love needs to be said out loud, over and over again. Written by Laura Duksta, illustrated by Karen Keesler and endorsed by the two biggest hearts in the book world, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen (co-creators of the Chicken Soup series), this book is sure to find a special place on your child's bookshelf. Beautifully illustrated and easy even for new readers, it will be a favorite for years to come. After the kids deliver breakfast in bed on Mother's Day, snuggle in for a whole lot of love and see if you can out do each other in a friendly game of who loves who more. -JR

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming- A Must Have Book, July 23, 2002

By	janice -parent and teacher (Lake Worth,, FL United States) - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful children's book, August 8, 2003

By	a mom and a teacher (Boynton Beach, FL United States) - See all my reviews

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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Book!, December 10, 2003

By	Kelly "kelly-lcce" (Kennesaw, GA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

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!
