I Love You Because You're You

By: Liza Baker, David McPhail

Narrated by: Kirsten Krohn

Now available in a padded, paper-over-board book, I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE YOU celebrates a parent's unconditional love for a child, as illustrated by award-winning artist David McPhail.

This book has quickly become a family favorite--and this new format with padded covers and cardstock pages will become an enduring classic of the genre.

As a poem about a mama fox's unconditional love for her cub, this story describes the many moods of all children--from happy to frightened, bashful to silly, and more--and reassures them of parents' abiding affection and approval.

Truly remarkable watercolor illustrations from David McPhail, sensitively wrought and never saccharine, are the perfect complement to Liza Baker's rhythmic, rhyming text.

Funny and Sweet

If you have ever been in a never ending exchange with a child, you and the child will both laugh with this book. The intention is not for a story, rather a funny exchange of "top that." (80's TEEN WITCH fans unite) I recommend this title.

Nicelistening experience; not much of a story

This is a lovely little listen for toddlers who will enjoy the sound effects, lovely guitar picking, and the narrator's smiling voice. There's not much of a story here, which can actually be nice for bedtime.

Unconditional Love

this is a short and sweet piece designed to tell the story of what unconditional love is. Makes a little one feel so special
