Sonnets from the Portuguese, a collection of 44 love sonnets written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, includes some of the most acclaimed declarations of love found in the English language. In "That's How Much I Love You," author Lisa Bergren has written her own expressions of love in language that children can understand and relate to. The characters are a mother dog and her young puppy, with each trying to outdo the other in showing how much they love each other. They both finally conclude that it's as impossible to measure their love as it is to count the number of stars in the sky or the snowflakes in a blizzard.Children will enjoy this sweet story of a mother and her child expressing their love for each other. The vocabulary is appropriate for younger children, and the nicely drawn color illustrations complement the text very well.
