This is my absolute favorite book for bebes. It's the very first thing I give all my new mother friends and I still cry every time I read it. (They grow so fast!) The "I love you once, I love you twice . . . " refrain has become a mantra for our family -- I'll start it and each of my kids takes a turn with another line. They even think it's fun to find other things that rhyme, like: I love you more than shrimp fried rice. We speak English and Spanish in our home, but even English-only speakers will love this book -- its theme of new baby love is universal.

Any mother should love reading this book to their little one, but it is especially befitting for those of us who live in Southern California or any other state that borders with Mexico and shares the cultural influence of our southern neighbors. I love this book. I love teaching my children the joy of learning two languages, as we blend simple Spanish terms into our everyday use of English. As they say in the ads wooing travellers to Mexico, "Come, feel the warmth."

We borrowed this book from the library again and again so my 3 year old son has asked for his own copy. We had not borrowed it for awhile but we were having beans and rice for dinner tonight so that is what made him think of it (will make sense once you read the book)! I would recommend for baby to preschooler and maybe even early reader. It is fun to read, listen to, and look at.
