یک نسخه از کتاب را خریدم و جلد گرفتم تا به هر همکار و دوست و آشنایی رسیدم بدهم تا سرپایی کتاب را در چند دقیقه بخواند و بعد بگویم من خرس سیاهم، دست از سرم بردار لعنتی، لطفا

Jory John's 'I Love You Already' is an adorable tale about a lovable bear and super cute duck. They are the best of friends - despite having two extremely different personalities.

The story starts out with Bear looking forward to a relaxing day at home. That is, until Duck shows up and insists they go outside and do something fun. Bear isn't happy, but reluctantly agrees to go. Duck keeps saying - since Bear clearly doesn't want to be out and about - that Bear doesn't like him and Bear tells him he is his best friend and consistently reassures him how much he loves him. Just an adorable tale about friendship, and that our differences are often - like magnets - what brings and bonds us together.

The illustrations by Benji Davies are delightful, wonderfully comical, and the perfect way for nonreaders and readers alike to follow along with greater appreciation of the text.

A big thank you to Lizzie (one of my goodreads friends) for this wonderful recommendation. =)

به آدم بزرگا هم بخوای حالی کنی که درون‌گرا و برون‌گرا بودن چه فرقی داره، در خیلی از موارد متوجه نمیشن و به داده‌های لعنتیشون اکتفا می‌کنن. چه برسه به اینکه بگی راه و روش‌های دوست‌داشتن متفاوت هست. هنوز هم مثل خرس بینوای این مجموعه، باید بالای منبر برم و کلی توضیح بدم که ماجرا از این قرار هست. امان از این اردک‌ها :/
در کل مجموعه جالب و سرگرم‌کننده‌ای هست.

This book is the story of the life in which I am the duck and my husband is the bear.

I'm not sure what to make of this one. It's basically the age-old battle between introvert and extrovert. There's nothing wrong with the two types being friends, of course, but Duck's single-mindedness is kind of off-putting. He doesn't get the cues from Bear, and simply will not take "no" for an answer. All Bear wants to do is spend some quiet time alone, but there's Duck, quacking in his ear and being a general nuisance. When Duck suggests that Bear doesn't like him much, Bear reassures him that he does... which makes things even worse. Duck becomes even more insufferable.

I'm not sure what the message here is supposed to be. Bear can't win. If he tries to be a good friend, he just encourages Duck. If he were to say, "No, I don't like you. Go away, you annoying bird," he'd hurt Duck's feelings. There's really no resolution to the dilemma, which I would've liked to see in a children's book. Introverted kids are likely going to encounter such situations, and as it is, the message is basically to put up with your annoying extrovert friends, even if they're invading your space and grating on your nerves. It would've been nice for the book to show them other options for dealing with people like Duck, other than not answering the door.

The illustrations are colourful and a little bit retro. I liked seeing Duck's and Bear's houses, and the pages in the beginning when the two animals are getting ready for their day are cute. But I'm not sure if the illustrations really save the somewhat-weak story.

No means NO. This book (and this series) teaches kids that is you’re persistent that no can mean yes. Rejection is a part of life and young kids should learn about consent not that we should badger our friends (partners, family members, etc) until they give in. Duck and Bears friendship is a really twisted take on friendship.

"Ahh, I really love spending lazy weekend mornings around my house."

"Ahhhhhh. Perfect. I have everything I need to spend a pleasant day by myself."

"I like quiet time by myself. If you need me, I'll be relaxing by that tree."

I AM BEAR. BEAR IS ME. BEAR 4 PRESIDENT.

Ωραίο χιούμορ!!Αξιολογη παιδική λογοτεχνία !!

[Cheryl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Genius. Not a spectacular story (but a very good one, well-told), not amazing art (but vibrant, expressive, and apt), but the premise is a perfect fit for so many avid readers (and other ppl) that this ought to be a runaway hit.

Of course you, my friends, know that I am a Bear. I really could use a Duck in my life, but my family are all Bears, too. Maybe I'll meet a Duck when I move into a senior housing campus.

And there's an earlier book about these two? I definitely want to check it out!

I've now read this book approximately 248 times, and I didn't like it at the first reading. The things we do for our children...

Speaking of the things we do for our children: I thought it would help Joe to understand the plot if I did funny voices for each of the characters. So now not only do I have to read it nearly every night, I have to read it with voices and drama.

Why don't I like it? Duck is basically a stalker, yo. He shows up at Bear's house early in the morning, after he's already spent time studying bear behavior. He does a Peeping Tom move to discover that Bear is hiding from him, before dragging him out of the house. In a masterful Stockholmesque move, he even convinces Bear to buy them both treats while at the park, and then coerces an "I love you" from Bear by the end. On the last page, Duck gleefully announces that he knows where Bear lives, so they can see each other every day!

Also, and I can't emphasize this enough: I have to read it with funny voices, no matter how tired I am, because if I don't Joey insists that I'm not "reading it right." :P 248 times, y'all.

[Abigail · Rating 4 out of 5]

That 'odd couple' pair of friends, Bear and Duck, who first appeared in author Jory John and illustrator Benji Davies' Goodnight Already! , return in this hilarious follow-up, as Duck attempts to rouse his ursine friend from a day of solitude, and get him to go on a walk with him. Unfortunately for Duck, Bear had been looking forward to a day by himself, and doesn't react with great enthusiasm to his anatine friend's many conversational forays. When Duck is injured (entirely through his own peskiness), Bear must step in and smooth his hurt feelings and ruffled feathers, assuring his friend that he does indeed love him (already)!

Like its predecessor, I Love You Already! pairs an amusing dialogue-based text - it's really just a series of exchanges between the two friends - with colorful and humorously appealing illustrations. Having seen the earlier book performed many times to great effect by a pair of storytellers, I would hazard a guess that this one too would make an excellent read-aloud selection, especially if the performers really get into their parts! The artwork adds to the hilarity here - I particularly liked the opening scene, in which Duck is reading a book about taking walks with bears, while sitting next to his "I Love Bear" mug, as Bear himself celebrates being alone! Recommended to anyone who enjoyed the first book about Bear and Duck, or to anyone searching for humorous picture-books.

[Sandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed bear and duck in this book. I thought the illustrations were hilarious and I can see how kids would love this book. I also think this book has a lot of potential for teaching points for kids, if you need/want them. Both duck and bear show their affection for each other differently which is an excellent point to highlight for children. Bear is more of the quiet type and duck is more the assertive one. I think we all know someone who falls within this range close to us. To ask children questions pertaining to this, will help them see that they can have friends that aren't exactly like them. I even wonder if duck even knows how to be quiet. Duck has a book about bear yet, I wonder if bear has a book about duck? What do you think is written inside those pages? What would it be like if duck wanted to be alone and bear was like duck?

A great book and it has a lot of great opportunity with it.

Oh, how this book made me giggle! I love reading picture books and am always on the lookout for great new read alouds for the students that I teach. “I Love You Already” is such a cute story and will appeal to all ages as everybody can relate to either Bear (who just wants to spend some quiet time alone) or Duck (who just wants to talk, talk, talk, and do, do do). This playful and perfectly illustrated book can kick start a conversation on the differences between introversion and extroversion. It’s a simple friendship tale that reminds the reader of how love doesn’t mean being the same or needing to be together 24/7. Fans of Mo Willems will enjoy this book, and fans of this book definitely need to check out Mo Willems’ books (especially his Elephant & Piggie series)!

A little more than one year ago readers were introduced to a bear who prefers to be alone and his noisy, nosy neighbor, a duck, in Goodnight Already! The mismatched friends have returned in I Love You Already! (Harper, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, December 22, 2015) written by Jory John with illustrations by Benji Davies. One glimpse at Bear's face (the deer caught in the headlight look) and we know some things (or a bear and a duck) never change. For those of you who believe in the power of laughter, thank goodness for that.

What an excellent read! I read this in a storytime this morning for the first time and it had me and the kids laughing and wondering what would happen on the next page. The grumpy bear really resonated with the (somewhat) grumpy kids. There's some great repetition in the book (the bear saying "No" to a Duck's offers to play, explore, etc) and the kids were all shouting out the nos in line with the story. SO GOOD. I will definitely read this one again. The second book I read was This Book Will Not Be Fun by Cirocco Dunlap and I gave the kids a chance to cheer for the favourite and I Love You Already got the loudest cheers.
