This is a lovely book to read to children. It's rhyme and rhythm make is a joy and very easy to read aloud. I love it's use of opposites as well. And, it can very easily be used as a beginning reader introductory book."I Love You This Much" is a poignant story of the love we have between parent and child. It also reinforces our relationship with our Father in Heaven by comparing the loving relationship we have with Him to that of the loving relationship we have with our children. It is a wonderful story for both parent and child. I would recommend reading this on either a colored NOOK or the real deal. This was a promotional free eBook I read on my SonyeReader. The pictures were black and white...not as effective as they would have been in color. Also, no CD with this version.
