I Love You Too, I Love You Three cover

As every parent knows, there is nothing more stressful than being away from a child even if it's only for a few days. In this heartwarming book, Wendy Tugwood captures perfectly how the love between a mother and child copes with separation.


When we're apart I miss you so
I wish I didn't have to go
I miss your face, your touch, your smell,
Your silliness I know so well.

I think of how you sing to me,
"I love you too... I love you three!"
On goes our love and counting game
A game that always ends the same.



Needing to express how much they love each other, parent and child play the old familiar counting game. The child says "I love you," the parent replies "I love you too," and the child, gleefully, replies "I love you three!" From there they continue counting until they reach "I love you ten."

I Love You Too, I Love You Three will delight parents and children alike and children will not only learn their numbers, they will gain assurance that, no matter what happens, the parent's love, like the counting game, will never end.

[Review of hardcover edition:] The narrator mother savors the ritual she shares with her little one. The rhyme itself is a charming, escalating expression of love, and when it reaches 10, it directs the players to 'go back and start at one, again' ... McGraw's softly hued, slightly fuzzy illustrations add dimension to the tale. When mother's face is seen, she has a gentle, loving smile for her child, hiding the feelings she expresses in the verse. The little one is seen as wholly joyous and exuberant, loving every moment of the bedtime experiences. * Kirkus *
