My Love for You All Year Round
PreSchool-Grade 1-The big white mouse and a little brown mouse from My Love for You (Dial, 1997) are back, this time expressing their affection for one another throughout the months of the year. They share sunny days, boxes of chocolates, fireworks, and much more. The text is simple ("My love for you is warmer than a snowsuit in JANUARY" or "brighter than MAY wildflowers") and the comparisons are just right for the intended audience. Made from a wide variety of colored and textured papers, the multilayered cut-paper collages are filled with colorful details. The warm hues perfectly match the story's sentiment. A gentle book for one-on-one snuggling, as well as a wonderful way to learn about the months and the vocabulary of emotions.Genevieve Gallagher, Orange County Public Library, VACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
