I discovered this board book while perusing the gift shop at the zoo. I loved the scenic, nature illustrations and the text was sweet. It would make a nice bedtime story.

I picked this book off the book truck of new picture books at the Library. Both words and pictures are gorgeous. The mama bear compares her love for her cub to occurrences in nature such as the trees loving to change each season. I loved the illustrations of animals such as deer, fox and otters. This is a lovely book which contains many expressions of love.

Received as a gift for my son. It’s very cute, short. Love the illustrations.

[Kimberly]

So sweet. I read it at work and am taking it back home to read to my son.

This book is about a bear who shares his love for his baby by comparing that love to things in nature. The best part about this book is that it has beautiful illustrations. They are somewhat abstract and definitely in the vein of Eric Carle, which I really enjoyed. I certainly liked the message that the accompanying text depicted, but the illustrations are what takes the cake. Another thing I appreciated was that the book featured more obscure animals like caribou and seals; this makes for a wonderful segment into introducing these types of animals to babies.

[Lauren Kramer-Theuerkauf]

This is a beautiful rhyming story in which a mother bear is explaining to her cub just how much she loves him. The illustrations by Jonny Lambert are simply stunning and reminiscent of Eric Carl's work. I did find that the text flowed a bit awkwardly on the page and felt that the story ended rather abruptly. Overall, a cute read for children ages 3-6.

Jack borrowed this book from the Ashland Public Library.

He carried it from his bedroom into the living room for me to read this morning, so I’m taking that as a sign of how he loves me more and more. The book is super sweet, with cute animal families and a loving message. It’s even more perfect because I call Jack my bear.

I love you more than the stars love to sparkle in the sky. Bear loves Cub more than trees, mountains, and stars. As they explore the world together, Bear's love for Cub just grows, and grows, and grows!
Beautiful images that children will love.

Sweet and sappy. A good book to read to very little ones at bed time. Lovely illustrations.

[Chinook]

Awwwww. Kait likes the animals. I think the story is cute and I love the style of the illustrations.

[Rachel Hogan]

lyrical, rhyming, different animals, paint and paper collage (like Eric Carle but more muted), about parent loving baby

not horrible, but generic and the text is awkward. pictures are cute but don't stand out

[Nayuleska]

A nature filled display of a parent's love for their child. There is a great emphasis on nature in the comparisons, which both demonstrate how much the parent loves the child as well as inform the reader about various aspects of nature. I liked the dandelion seed blowing through the book, which seemed to emphasise the continuation of the love.

The pages are fairly thick and sturdy, which suits the atmosphere of the book. It isn't a board book, but normally picture books have thinner pages which is why I noticed it. While not 100% my style of illustrations the style is fun look at, with a super cute bear cub who melted my heart from the first time I looked at the cover.

Time to get sidetrackd - see the striped trees on the cover? They instantly make me think of the trees at my primary school, silver birch trees, which me and my friends sort of peeled off the bark...we were young and not all that nature conscious! It was fun too. My point is it brings back memories of innocence, family fun and love for, which is what this book is about.

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review on my blog Nayu's Reading Corner http://nayusreadingcorner.blogspot.co...

I love the illustrations in this book! They are clean, crisp, and Carle inspired. The text is really simple, great for toddlers and babies. It is very much a child and parent book as each page repeats how much the family characters love each other. Because of that, I would read it in a storytime.

Precious for preschoolers. "You are my everything. I love you high and low. I love you more than flowers love to blossom, bloom, and grow."

Mother/Father Bear tells Baby Bear how much he is loved in rhyme.
