I Love You More
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.

That sounds like a sweet book! My kids both have their special books that we've read together over and over. Caleb loves "How Do I Love You?"; the illustrations look just like him, and he loves talking through the pictures. They also like "Kiss Goodnight" and "God Gave Us You". Great parent/child bonding books!
Ahh, I miss those days...
Little man just discovered we have "finding Nemo" in book form and he is constantly looking through it and "reading" it, it's so sweet. This little book you introduced certainly sound great, I'll go ask if our bookshops got it. We had a similar "Remember your manners" book and each opposite page was how it was without manners and how it is with manners. My older two enjoyed that one and I discovered it in my daughters bookshelf the other day again.
