‘Of all the things I love the most, the very best is you. I. Love. You.’
One of Bud’s absolute faves. We have the original Giraffe’s Can’t Dance book which he loves, and this one uses some quotes from the original book to send a message of love and joy.
Would recommend the other book first, but this is utterly charming. Library book we would probably buy.
Update: we did buy a second hand version and it remains a lovely pre bed book to read
