I Love You, Good Night: Lap Edition

Some of the reviews are confusing, because we have a version that has animals - not a human mom and daughter. I saw another version that has a mom and daughter - but the board book version that we have is SO cute and it's good for a boy too. This is the one we have http://www.bullersooz.com/lygn.html The words are adorable and sweet - and my son (22 months old) loves blowing when we get to "I love you like wind loves blowing" and signing and saying "water" when we get to "I love you like boots love splashing in puddles" - and so much more!!! The pictures are simple, but there is enough for him to point out a bunch of things - he points to a train, crayons and paper, a ball, etc. This is our FAVORITE bedtime book, and it's not too long either, which is nice!

I have been reading this book at bedtime to my son since he was born and he is now 9 months old. It gives me cute ways to explain how I love him, not to mention has made me crave blueberry pancakes on more than one occassion!

This was an impulse purchase Christmas present for our seven-month-old. At the same time, we purchased two classic books for babies, ones we knew and loved already from reading to our older children, and which we thought were sure to please. From the first day this one was her clear favorite over the others -- at nine months now she will dig it out of a pile of books, pushing others aside when we try to offer them, and she "talks" to and laughs at the illustrations all the way through. I am thrilled with how well the book has engaged her interest (and I can't say I mind the excuses for "kisses and cuddles", either), so I give the book my highest recommendation.

This is a wonderful book that children love to hear over and over. The beautiful drawings depict a mother helping her little girl prepare for bedtime while telling her how much she loves her. My 2 year old daughter (and my 9 year old son) enjoys "reading" each line with me. This is a book that gives a warm, snuggly feeling everytime we read it!

I first read this book while I was a nanny for a beautiful, intelligent little girl. At the time, she was 3 years old and owned over 300 books! She knew almost every one of them by heart. This book was one of her favorites and mine. We would read this before her nap and she could tell me what was coming up on the next page. It cute and so easy to memorize. Memorizing a simple, loving book like this one, shows your child how important reading books is in life. Plus, everyone wants to know how much they are loved! I love this book, like "...pigs love pies!"
