A few weeks ago I received some copies of a book called I Love You More, written by Laura Duksta and illustrated by Karen Keesler. Alex and I had actually seen the book in Barnes & Noble the week before, and the cover illustration was so charming that I immediately knew I wanted to read it.
And can I just say? This book is delightful.
I Love You More is the story of a mama and her son (everybody say it with me: “AWWWWW”) who take turns explaining how much they love each other. Half of the book is told from the mama’s perspective, and the other half is from the son’s perspective. What Alex loves the most is that when we finish reading the mama’s story we get to FLIP THE BOOK UPSIDE DOWN to read the little boy’s story, and OH, MY CHILD’S JOY KNOWS NO BOUNDS.
Honestly, it’s hard to read this book to your child without getting a little weepy, but that is okay because your child will be snuggled so tightly next to you as you’re reading that it will make you feel all warm and fuzzy as you cry. So it will be a tender time.
I have three copies to give away, and if you’d like to put your name in the hat just leave a comment and tell me so. I’ll close comments this Friday, November 30, and then I’ll pick the winners using – you guessed it – the trusty random number generator.
This is a good ‘un, y’all, and I think you’ll enjoy it a whole bunch!
What a cute book! Thanks for entering me.
Um, yes please!
I would love this book. My little boy needs more books of his own. His sister tends to claim that they are all hers since she had them first even if she’s outgrown them.
My kids and I would love this book!
Put me in!
I’ve been wanting to get this – count me in!
It would make a great gift for my sweet niece.
Oh my….just what I need…another book about a mother & child. My husband would be rolling his eyes right about now.
Great idea for a book…if I don’t win by the handy-dandy random selector, I’ll have to head out and buy it myself!
Thanks Boo Mama!
I’d love to win this for my kids.
OHHH! Sounds like a fabulous book – count me in!
OK, I had to add my name to this one. This is our favorite saying in our house…whenever someone says I love you, you can bet it will be followed by..”I love you, more.” I hope I’m randomly picked!!
Would definitely love to have this for my son! I saw this the other day, too, and thought it would be a good one! If I don’t win it…I guess I’ll just have to buy it! :)
Go Dawgs!! I’m a fellow m’sippi gal who loves state and who wants to win a book !!!
Pick me! Pick me!
Pick me, I’d love to give it to my foster nephew.
Oh I would love to have this book to read with my son!
I don’t know if international readers can win but if we can, I would love to win a copy of this book!
Thanks for the generosity.

I like books. I have sons. I want to win!
I have boys and they love to read with me and each other. This definitely sounds like something I want to add to my library! Pick me!
Oh, I never knew such a book existed! One day my son suprised me by telling me he would love me until the mountains fell down. I was very touched…and then he explained he got the line from a movie we had recently watched. Now we play this game of telling each other how much we love each other…he always wins with “to the sun and back, to the sun and back, etc.”
Please stick my name in your giveaway! I’d love to be able to give this to Liz (The Lizness) for her baby shower.
Oooo Ooooo, I have TWO boys! Pick me! Pick me!

C’mon random number generator…pick me, pick me!!!!
Count me in too!
would love to be picked!
The beautiful thing about this is that the Random Number Generator is no respector of comments, just numbers. So it doesn’t matter what my comment is. I hate the Random Number Generator. It stinks. It never picks me. And it will never ever know i said these things.
Sounds like a great book count me in!
Throw my name in the hat please
i really want to win this!
Oh trusty random number generator please pick me this time! I would really like to read this to my children.
Being a mother of 2 sons, I would absolutely love this book. And being an Amy, I thought I might have some extra kind of cosmic blog chance at winning. :)
If not, I’ll just join forces with all the other Amys taking over the world. :)
My kids and I always play the “I love you more” game. They would love this book!
