Children’s Books to say “I love you!”

Do you do any gifts for your kids (or grand­kids) for Valentine’s Day? We usu­ally get the boys a lit­tle some­thing, includ­ing a sweet book! For both Big Brother’s and Lit­tle Brother’s first Valentine’s Day, we bought them copies (that we wrote in) of “I Love You Through and Through”. I absolutely adore this book and I think Baby Brother needs his own copy this year! It’s such a sweet book! Other years they’ve got­ten “Guess How Much I Love You” and “Kiss Kiss”.  And I think this year “How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You?” will be the Valentine’s book of choice! So, whether for a lit­tle Valentine’s gift or just some sweet books to add to your lit­tle ones’ book library, here are 10 great children’s books to say “I Love You” with!

• Kiss Kiss (Mar­garet Wild)
• I Love You Through And Through (Bernadette Ros­setti Shustak)
• How Do I Love You? (Mar­ion Dane Bauer)
• Guess How Much I Love You (Sam McBratney)
• Snug­gle Puppy (San­dra Boynton)
• How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You? (Jane Yolen)
• Love You For­ever (Robert Mun­sch)
• I Love You So… (Mar­i­anne Richmond)
• Wher­ever You Are: My Love Will Find You (Nancy Till­man)
• You Are My Sun­shine (Jim­mie Davis)

Such sweet books, all with dif­fer­ent ways to say “I love you” or to show the spe­cial rela­tion­ship between par­ent & child! I love read­ing books like these to our boys! Read­ing “I love you through and through” or “Guess how much I love you” to them doesn’t get old. I know it won’t be too much longer until they won’t want to snug­gle up and have us read those cute & mean­ing­ful lit­tle books to them (*sniff, sniff), so we’re trea­sur­ing that now!

What’s YOUR favorite “I Love You” children’s book?
