Wonderful statement about the truth of love

Once again, William Steig has broken out his stereotypical role as a children's writer. In this book, Stein professes not only the beauty of romantic love, but he also eloquently presents love as it is - a complicated mixture of pleasure and pain. Steig shows us all in this book, written for an adult audience, that true love endures all.

Great gift idea!

While searching for a small Valentine's gift for my girlfriend I came across this book. The title, Made for Each Other, summed up my feelings in four simple words but the pictures and the short phrases througout the book really express the true meaning of love. Love can be hazy, shiny and even imperfect. This book captures the many aspects of love in a quirky, off-beat way that might not be endearing to some but to others it explains our heart.The gift must have helped because she is now my fiance'!!

A Wonderful Book About True Love!

I gave this book to my husband for an anniversary present. The text is sweet and simple. It is everything I wanted to say to my dear husband. Much better than a Hallmark card. The illustrations in the fabulous style of William Steig are comical. To top it all, Mr. Steig dedicated the book to his wife Jeanne, (of course).

LOVE THIS BOOK

I wish someone felt this way about me! I'm buying copies to give to my children on the day they come home to tell me that they are getting married to help me wish them a lifetime of this kind of love.

highly recommended

This book carries the ring of truth, fun, and love in it through its simple statements which are enduring metaphors about love. Love is not always easy, but love is worth it in the end. It's also touching to know that William Steig dedicated this book to his wife. I based some of my wedding vows on this book. I recommend it highly for children of all ages.
