Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2 --As a young boy and his father stroll outdoors on a winter day, the child asks his father if he loves him, to which his father replies reassuringly, "Yes, I love you very much." The boy questions his father as to why he loves him, suggesting that perhaps it is because he's strong, or fast, or brave, or funny. His father agrees that he loves him for all of those reasons and others too, and that he loves him even when he's naughty. Hearing that, the boy asks, "Why do I try to be good then?" The father tells him he doesn't know, and the boy concludes, "Because I love you too." Baynton's very simple, distilled story is warm and thoughtfully endearing. Soft pastel watercolors accompany the text . A lovely addition to picture-book collections. --Leslie Barban, Richland County Public Library, Columbia, SC

A Heart-warming book to cherish with a child, April 10 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Why Do You Love Me? (Library Binding)
I found this book at our public library, and our whole family loves it! I mentioned it to one of the children's librarians, and she loves it, too! All too often children today are criticized or frowned upon for making mistakes, for getting their clothes dirty, for running and playing -- for just being kids. Children of all ages still benefit from being reassured that they are loved and accepted by a parent/caregiver. Unconditional love is the true message of this charming little book. The soft illustrations are an effective accompanyment to the text. The child's and his father's facial expressions are realistic. His questions and movements on each page are so typical for 3-to-7-year-olds. My 6-year-old daughter laughed at the little boy's antics and the father's responses. She loved looking for the expressive little dog on each page. She was ecstatic when she could read the book by herself. Even my 5th-grade son said, "That's cute!" I encourage you to read it and see!
