A book about animals and how they show love to their babies。

2。5 stars -- Many would say that animals do express love， so the message was a little jumbled。 Since the focus is on how animals express love with their special language/abilities， why not just call the books "Animals say I love you？" Cute illustrations and lots of animal sounds/actions to act out。 2。5 stars -- Many would say that animals do express love， so the message was a little jumbled。 Since the focus is on how animals express love with their special language/abilities， why not just call the books "Animals say I love you？" Cute illustrations and lots of animal sounds/actions to act out。 。。。more

For young readers that love rhymes and animals， this might be a hit。 However， there are lots of rhyming animal books out there and I would likely opt for a different one。 I would be willing to read this for a child who already knows the book and who is really into it。 But， as as adult， this book doesn't hit the mark for me。 It doesn't have a lot of substance and it doesn't hit me in the feels。 For young readers that love rhymes and animals， this might be a hit。 However， there are lots of rhyming animal books out there and I would likely opt for a different one。 I would be willing to read this for a child who already knows the book and who is really into it。 But， as as adult， this book doesn't hit the mark for me。 It doesn't have a lot of substance and it doesn't hit me in the feels。 。。。more

IF ANIMALS SAID I LOVE YOU is a cute book with smiling animals snuggling and strutting and offering treats to show their love。 Families who want their animal books both cute AND based in fact will find some of the examples disappointing。 For example， the page about whales reads: “Whale would sing it and， from his spout， shoot some heart-shaped bubbles out。” Even so， it's a fun read aloud and the illustrations are very sweet。Read more on vegbooks dot org。 IF ANIMALS SAID I LOVE YOU is a cute book with smiling animals snuggling and strutting and offering treats to show their love。 Families who want their animal books both cute AND based in fact will find some of the examples disappointing。 For example， the page about whales reads: “Whale would sing it and， from his spout， shoot some heart-shaped bubbles out。” Even so， it's a fun read aloud and the illustrations are very sweet。Read more on vegbooks dot org。 。。。more

In rhyming text， the author describes how animals might express their affection to their offspring。 A companion book to If Animals Kissed Good Night， this book is sure to prompt young readers or listeners to make the same gestures as the animals featured here， including a boa constrictor， a gorilla， a cheetah， and an alligator， among others。 I'm betting they will also mimic the sounds that accompany some of this showering of affection such as "lick， lick， lick" and "splashity-splish" （unpaged）。 In rhyming text， the author describes how animals might express their affection to their offspring。 A companion book to If Animals Kissed Good Night， this book is sure to prompt young readers or listeners to make the same gestures as the animals featured here， including a boa constrictor， a gorilla， a cheetah， and an alligator， among others。 I'm betting they will also mimic the sounds that accompany some of this showering of affection such as "lick， lick， lick" and "splashity-splish" （unpaged）。 It's pretty clear that while animals may not be able to SAY they love someone with words， they have plenty of other means of expressing their emotions。 Undoubtedly， those three words can make a difference in someone's life as a reminder of how much we matter to others in our lives。 。。。more

Cute book for bedtime， but I was a little lost by the premise。 The book imagines how animals would say I love you if they said I “I love you” like we do， but it comes across a bit like animals don’t love each other instead of showing how animals express love and affection。
