New copy for a new generation

My oldest child loved this book, as did his siblings when he read it to them. I’m pleased to be able to gift this book to my first grandchild now.

Pre-reading Confidence & Reading Enjoyment wrapped up in a clever and fun poem

We checked out I Love You: A Rebus Poem by Jean Marzollo from the library on Saturday. I read it twice to both of my children on Saturday. I read it once to my three year old daughter again the next morning. Then she said to me, "Mommy I'll read it to you" & she did. Multiple times she has "read" this book to me. Of course it's a rebus so I am not saying that she can "read". However, I am saying that I love the pre-reading confidence that she is gaining from being able to "read" to her mommy. GREAT BOOK! Highly recommend. It's a keeper. I will purchase my own copy!

A Great Way To Boost a Child's Love of Reading!

I have just recently introduced this book to my 3 yr. and 4 yr. old granddaughters. They LOVE to read it to us! It serves as a cute story AND a great tool to promote the love of reading. Even very young children can manage the few repeated words along with the humorous but simple pictures. They also can use the rhyming schemes as great clues. This is a great book pleaser for any pre-schooler....and grandparent!

Cutest Book.

This book is so cute. My 3 year old son loves to read it. The use of pictures and words in each sentence has him mesmorized. He reads the whole book and then has me read the whole poem that is written in text at the end. He loves it and I love the fact that he can recognize a few words in text and "read them"

We love this book

My 3 1/2 year old son thinks he can read this book - the symbols make it easy for him to "read". The smile on his face is priceless. He is soooo proud of himself! This book has boosted his confidence. He took it to school today to "read" to his friends. Plus - it's a beatiful poem. I am looking for another book like this. BUY THIS ONE!

Good for toddlers, too

This book is great. The colors are bright and are of familiar and fun things (bunnies, sheep, etc). My 1 1/2 year old likes it. She can even identify some of the pictures in the rebus. I don't know if she knows she's helping me "read", but it's a fun, new way to read a book together. I would buy more books like this in a minute.
