Wonderfully Awesome!

The universe is happier now that this book exists. You will be too after reading it and sharing it.

The words make me smile, the rhymes make me laugh, the illustrations make me happy. I just read it and now I know what I have to do which is read it to my honey. This book is meant to be shared. With your lover, with your children and grandchildren with all those you love and those who love others.

Thank you Dalls Clayton for a real gem and for the good times I will have sharing this book.

Great book; shame about the grammar

This is a lovely book with some great themes and ideas; it's complemented by some excellent art work. My one gripe is that several passages require the subjunctive mood but are just written in the past tense (i.e. Instead of "If I were", the author writes "If I was").

Love Book

This book is extremely enjoyable on so many levels. Whether you want to share it with adults or children the message is beautiful. It's a book you can read again and again and the appreciation only increases.

Wrong grammar.

The book is cute. It is also meaningful, but I was shocked with the wrong repetition of incorrect English grammar from the beginning to the end of the book. It is surprising that so many customers gave five stars! I was completely disappointed. I do not want that my granddaughters, who are learning English as a second language, learn this mistake. I am returning the book.

Terrific book!

This is a wonderful book! I have read it to my class and they loved it which is important to me as I take teaching very seriously, but I was equally moved by how much my teaching assistants loved this book! It rhymes,and rhyming just makes the world better in every way and it shares the wonder of being a part of someone's life. This book leaves you happy and grateful to be alive. Thank you, Mr. Clayton!

Awesome Book

I love this book! I have a small baby and this book was recommended by a friend who has a baby the same age and is a literature teacher. I was half way through reading it to my baby and got all choked up and cried! It's very sweet and excellent at expressing the love I have for my baby in simple terms. It makes me feel good. It's a great book for anyone to give to someone who they love deeply.

Awesome Book of Love!

I was a little disappointed in this book. It's cute but not really what I expected...didn't hold my 4 year old's attention too well either.

Dallas Clayton Please Bring This Book Back Into Print!!

This is one of my favorite books ever in a long life of loving books. I've read it to and then with my grandson since he was little, through hard times and good times. He's 14 now - he visited recently and indulged me in reading it with me again. I think we'll do that all our lives, and then suspect he will to his children and grandchildren some day. It's the kind of magic that engraves its words and images on your hearts and deepens connection with those you love. It says what you wouldn't want your life to go by without saying. I dearly, dearly hope that Mr. Clayton will bring the book back into print as it deserves a place in more hearts and lives!
