All The Things I Love About You (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
I absolutely LOVE this book!! It is such a great book for reading to young children, especially for parents to read to their children. When parents read this book to their children, it shows the children that no matter what they do wrong or how much trouble they get into, their parents still love them in so many ways.Activity extension: Have a class discussion about all the different kinds of feelings such as happy, sad, mad, etc. Afterwards you would have sad, happy, mad, excited (or any other you want to add) faces on plates and the children can hold the face up to show how they are feeling. So reassuring and sweet, this book is a litany of things that a mother loves about her son...from how he looks in pajamas to how he hugs her---and other things that he does that she loves. A hint of humor in the title helps balance the title from warm and fuzzy vs. absolute tearjerker (although I found myself a bit misty-eyed as the book concluded). Illustrations are quirky and wonderful. Sweet for a lapsit...one to be shared over and over and over as an affirmation of a mother's love.

Great illustrations! This could be well paired with Michael Ian Black's Naked.
