This has been a great favorite in my house at bedtime ( )

This story is about a parent that is telling their child all the ways they love them before they go to sleep. The speaker uses analogies to express their multitude of feelings to their child such as "I love you like vines love trees", and other analogies that a young child is easily able to comprehend. The speaker relates their love to common items that they reader may know and love as well, such as strawberry milkshakes and blueberry pancakes and activities such as splashing in puddles, which can excite the reader as they have a similar interest to the speaker. The big idea of this book is to show comparisons of intangible things, such as love of another person, to tangible things, such as the moon and how plants grow, as well as recognizing patterns in poetry, as shown in the end word rhymes found within the book.

Sweet story of a mouse mother putting a little mouse to bed. Good rhymes such as "I love you like frogs love flies; I love you like pigs love pies." ( )
