"I love you hugely like a whale. I love you shyly like a quail." So begins this sweet picture book by Lynn Parrish Sutton and Hazel Mitchell (published by Kane Miller). This is a darling, simple book with lyrical rhythm and rhyme - it's a perfect last-book-before-bedtime choice.

One thing I love about this book is that it combines everyday animals - the cat, the puppy - with animals that will be new to most toddlers, like larks and sloths. 

It's that book that makes you muse about all the different ways you love your kids.

Book benefits:
  • The simple text and repetitive structure will make this book a favorite for beginning readers
  • End rhyme helps kids predict what's coming next.
  • Bright, colorful illustrations beg to be pored over with your little ones
  • Adverbs! The English teacher in me loves the descriptive words like "cleverly", "doggedly", and "fiercely."

Buy Animally here! ($11.99, hardcover)
