No children's book should ever include the lines: "Can we nestle?/ Tender and slow"

these little creatures freaked me out. while it is intended as a parent-child message, the text feels strangely co-dependent somehow. ick.

A waste of time! Returned it to the library right away. My sons and I have LOVED Joost Elffers' other books (How are you peeling? etc.) with photographs of vegetables and fruits made to have human faces. This was computerized illustrations that mimicked the real life photos, and it just fell flat.

The pictures in this book are so darling. Even the littlest children will love them! Great book for those just learning to read as there are few words per page.

October 2, 2018Our 7-year-old instantly tried to set the text to the tune "Do You Love Me?" by the Contours. She also liked taking turns reading where she asked the questions and we read the parent part.

This is a book about love for very young readers, so it was a little hard for me to appreciate the extremely simple story. However, the illustrations are nice, and the color saturation is stunning. I sort of felt like I was falling into the pictures.

I just used this in a storytime and it was really cute. Anytimes adults and children can talk about loving each other is fun. I also love this illustration style. It is so simple yet says so much. An example of what we will be seeing as more books are getting a computer illustration. Ages 2+

Not sure why so many people are describing this book as "creepy." We picked it up at the library because the cover was intriguing, and my 2-year-old loves it. It's simple and sweet, with cute (maybe somewhat quirky?) illustrations.

A graphically interesting book for babies.

Frankly this book creeped me out. I think the author could have comeup with different ways of addressing the question "do you love me?"

Strange little book. Strange questions for a child to ask, I thought anyway. I didn't like the creepy little people/whatever they were either.

Every being wants reassurance it is cared about and noses are used in this book to convey love. The simple story but sincere expressions of love will be enjoyed readers young and old alike.
