If you know me at all, you know I LOVE illustration. Especially book illustration. Especially storybook illustration. So, I do this thing where I find an illustrator I love and I get every book of theirs I can get my hands on. I immerse myself in their art. I gather little tidbits of their lives from the back jacket blubs. I look and look and look. And, I discover new authors that way.

he book is dedicated "For all those many mamas who love their little boys!" And those mamas will enjoy reflecting on the many things they love about their child-- the way his hair sticks up in the morning, the way he looks in pajamas and the way he hugs like this...and this...and this!
But it's the illustrations that make this a fun read as mom tries to wrestle with her son as she's putting on his pajamas, how the little boy makes a mess with his food, how Dad throws him around, and the many inst...more

I absolutely LOVE this book!! It is such a great book for reading to young children, especially for parents to read to their children. When parents read this book to their children, it shows the children that no matter what they do wrong or how much trouble they get into, their parents still love them in so many ways.

So reassuring and sweet, this book is a litany of things that a mother loves about her son...from how he looks in pajamas to how he hugs her---and other things that he does that she loves. A hint of humor in the title helps balance the title from warm and fuzzy vs. absolute tearjerker (although I found myself a bit misty-eyed as the book concluded). Illustrations are quirky and wonderful. Sweet for a lapsit...one to be shared over and over and over as an affirmation of a mother's love.
Looking at LeUyen Pham's illustrations in All the Things I Love About You is like visiting (what I imagine are) her memories of watching her own little boys grow up. It's a treat to vicariously experience these events... these flashes of moments in time that are so significant to a mother. Makes me selfishly and curiously wonder what my mother's memories of watching me grow up must have been like and how they must have made her feel. A treat of a heartfelt read.
Oh so sweet. A mama recounting to her son all the things she loves about him. Could easily be a daughter though, with things like:
how your hair looks in the morning
the messy way you eat
the way you call "Mama!"
and how you learn new things and grow everyday
This one almost made me cry, but luckily not quite as sentimental as _Someday_.

This is a great story about a mother's love. She loves everything about her little boy. In my 1st grade class the students wrote letters to their parents to express everything they loved and appreciated about them. This book could have been used to introduce that lesson and serve as an example of how to write their individual letters.
Playful, fun illustrations. I think kids would enjoy it, but maybe for them, I'd give it a three star rating. This one really shines for grownups, though. Pham does a great job capturing the warmth and tenderness of a parent trying to put into words the unconditional love she feels for her child.
I saw this at the BYU Books For Youhg Readers Symposium and knew I had to get it for my daughter and her son. It captures the essence of mother love. When I gave it to my grandson, he actually asked me to read it twice, and he is not one to sit still for long! So children must like this book, too.
The first book about mamas and their boys I absolutely LOVE. My boys enjoy it too. That in itself is pretty amazing. Gorgeous illustrations. Spot on musings on what it is to love your little boy while trying to protect him as he grows and explores.
A wonderful book that mothers will certainly enjoy reading to little ones (sons or daughters) that has lovely illustrations and text. A very touching book that will certaily be well liked by parents.
Kids won't go crazy for this one though.

A lovely book for moms ... of boys (or girls).
Not seeing the kid appeal, though. I agree with some of the other reviewers. Give to adults. Not kiddos.
I've always loved her illustrations!

An adorably illustrated book enumerating the reasons a mother loves her child. Perhaps intended more for grownups than children, but still a fun, cute, reassuring read for little ones.
Written for moms of little boys, it feels like the author has been spying on me for the last 3 years!
Ages 1-2. A perfect new book to share in baby/toddler storytime. Use for Valentine's Day or any day.
LeUyen Pham's illustrations are very fun and this is a delightful little book for reading with toddlers.
As a new mom of a baby boy, I will say this is a must-read for all parents of boys. So sweet!
Great book! The illustrations were a lot of fun and the story was simple and sweet.
Great gift for a mother, especially if she has a little boy.
Lovely illustrations that capture the impishness of small boys.
Super sweet. I've become such a sap since having a kid.
Cute book for a mother of little boys
Sweet and simple and touching.
Love! Oh, Dylan this is you.
Must read for mamas and sons.
I LOVED this book!!
So sweet
A must read for mamas of little guys.
Good for bedtime sharing between parent and child. Plus, it's LeUyen Pham, so the illustrations are adorable.
Perfectly portrays the love of a mom for a toddler boy.
