I love you as big as the world

Big Bear and Little Bear love each other SO much that their love stretches high up into the mountains, far away to the stars, and down deep to the bottom of the sea. It is big enough to fill the whole wide world. Lush, brightly-colored illustrations, from the illustrator of Little Honey Bear and the Smiley Moon, capture the humor and intimacy of a very special relationship with irresistible tenderness and grace. Children will treasure this reminder of how much they are loved.

School Library Journal Review

PreS-A simple text and spacious spreads speak of the boundless love of a parent for a child, in this case Big Bear and Little Bear. The soft-focus illustrations blend well with the text to carry the message. However, some of the metaphors may be difficult for a preschooler to comprehend, such as, "I love you as bright as the sun" or "I love you as blue as the sky." Sam McBratney's Guess How Much I Love You (Candlewick, 2003), Barbara Joosee's Mama, Do You Love Me? (1991) and Papa, Do You Love Me? (2005, both Chronicle), and Margaret Wise Brown's The Runaway Bunny (HarperCollins, 1942) all convey the same emotions in more understandable terms.-Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OH (c) Copyright 2010.
