Book Overview
Tomie dePaola's appealing art perfectly complements John Graham's rhythmic text spoken by a little boy to the animals he loves, beginning with a mouse who he tells he would take care of with a furry nest and a nibble of cheese. He goes on to a kitten, a puppy, a lamb, a bunny, and other familiar baby animals until it is getting dark and his father picks him up and gently and lovingly puts him to bed. Just right for reading to the very young at bedtime or anytime, this long out-of-print title now reappears in a larger format, re-illustrated in beautiful colours by Tomie dePaola.

I Love you Mouse
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This was a wonderful book to read as a child. I am sad to see it is not printed more regularly, but am eager to share this book with my children one day.

A generation of love
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Almost 22 years ago this book was given to me when I was a baby, and it soon became my favorite book. My mother and I would read it nighlty. The book is about a parents love, "I love you Kitten, and if I were a cat..." I also loved that hidden on each page is the animal that will be on the next page. For Christmas this year I took a chance and ordered this book for my sons, who are 4 1/2 and 3, and it instantly became a favorite. My 3 year old has a hard time sitting through stories, but he will sit through this one, he even has it memorised. We have read this book at least once a night since it was purchased, my boys sometimes fight over who gets to chose "I love you mouse" as their bedtime story. This is a must have for ANY story collection, and a great book to say "I love you".
A lovely daddy-child book

This is a sweet, heartfelt book about loving and taking care of whom you love. The black-and-white illustrations by Tommy DePaolo suit John Graham's gentle text just perfectly. We first read it to my son at about the age of 1 or 2, and it's still one of his favorite "comfort" reads now that he is 8.
A wonderful children's book...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
My daughter fell in love with this book when she was about 18 months old and at 3 loves it just as much. It is about a father and his child and how he would love his child of he were a mouse, a kitten, a puppy, piglet, etc. and what he would do to show his love. The illustrations are very cute and the book is patterned well enough that your child will be able to interact with your storytelling quickly. I have ordered 3 paperback copies of this book to keep at home and the grandparents so she never has to be without. A special book to teach your child about love.
