A very sweet reminder that no matter how you feel or who you are, your parents should always love you!

This is a sweet book that reminds me of Guess How Much I Love You (the foxes are named Small and Large, vs. Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare) and I Love You, Stinky Face. The only thing I may caution with on this one is that it does mention death (does love die too?). It handles it well, but it could bring up some questions.

I bought this book for my boys because it has such a wonderful message. I had no idea my boys would love it as much as they do...
"what if I were a squishy bug?"

I love this book. I bought as an Easter gift for my 1 year old as he's not a massive fan of chocolate but he loves books.
The story is a conversation between Large (a mummy/daddy/guardian fox) and Small (the child). Neither character is sexed so it could be any parent and child relationship which I think is very universal. I do voices for the characters when I read this - Small has a little squeaky voice and Large a gentle calm voice. My son finds this funny and checks it is me doing the voices. Their conversation is Small questioning Large's love and Large reassuring Small that "No matter what" Large will always love Small.
My son loves the beautiful pictures. They are bright and beautifully drawn and each page has a lot of detail. The last page has embossed silver stars that shimmer.
He often picks this book for his bedtime story. It's a lovely story to read before bed to make a young child feel safe and no that no matter what their large will love them.

Sweet message, but I did not enjoy the illustrations. Read to one of my grade 7 classes, and it was a flop.
