One to Make You Cry, One to Make You Spy
by manz
Here are two new and absolutely fabulous picture books from the new shelf in the youth department. And yes, one will make you cry and one will get you to spy!
Let’s spy first. Search and Spot Animals is a beautifully illustrated book that invites young readers to look at the illustrations and find assorted animals! One moment you’re searching for dogs on their morning walk, and the next you’re searching for animals that belong in the forest. It is a wonderful book to read and seek together.
Okay, time for the grown-ups to cry. Perhaps. I love You Always starts out with a little boy being put to bed by his mother. He asks, “Mom, will you love me my whole life?” Her reply: “Well, let me tell you a secret.” And she goes on to tell the child how she has loved him from the day she met him and even before then. How she loves him when he can see it and when he can’t. The book goes on and on in this manner, and it is tender and dear and may just pull on those heart strings. This book would also make a great readaloud, especially in a quiet moment, or before bedtime.
