Hey, all!

I just wanted to share the cute new board book I got for ds today at Borders! It's called I Love You as Much... by Laura Krauss Melmed. It's so sweet, because it is all about how much this animal and that animal loves it's baby, such as "Said the mother camel to her child, "I love you as much as the desert is dry.' " But at the end, it says, "Now sleep child ofmine, while the stars shine above - I love you as much as a mother can love." and the illustration is a mother and baby sleeping together in a big bed, not a crib! : So sweet! I had to get it!

Amazon link

I can't read those books. I get soooo emotional.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing. If I need therapy, I could use that book. It looks so sweet....

We love that the baby sleeps next to mama where he belongs. All of my little ones think that they are the baby in the book because the mama sort of resembles me (at least the hair anyway ) It's a great book, esp. for co-sleeping families. I can recite it just sitting here

Sorry! Thought since it portrayed cosleeping, it would be okay in family bed.

Anywho, for sandygirl:

Two ISBN #s
First: ISBN-13:978-0-688-1978-8
Second: ISBN-10:0-688-15978-8

Not sure why there is two, but that's what it says. HTH!
