Product Description:
This beloved story of a child testing the limits of her independence, and a mother who reassuringly proves that a parent s love is unconditional and everlasting is a perfect first book for toddlers.
Amazon.com:
This exceptional board-book tells a beautiful and timeless story about a daughter's attempt to find the limit of her mother's love. Barbara Lavallee's exquisite illustrations of Alaska, with their exaggeratedly foreshortened perspective and rich tones of violet, blue-gray, and gray-green, tell of an easy declaration ('I love you more than the raven loves his treasure, more than the dog loves his tail, more than the whale loves his spout') that is pushed, and pushed, and ('What if I put salmon in your parka ... and ermine in your mukluks?') pushed. There's a quiet joyfulness in both the antics of the Inuit mother and daughter and in the animals--including a polar bear and a musk ox--that the daughter imagines she might become. A charming story for mothers and daughters of all ages. (Baby to preschool) --Richard Farr

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent illustrations, great book!
I picked up this book in a book store in Alaska, well before I had children of my own. Then it was for the sheer pleasure of looking at the water color illustrations. Now I read it to my two kids, both love it. In fact my son (4 yrs) says "Read it again" right after I have just finished reading it to him :-)
It's a book about a child pushing/testing the limits of her mother's love - trying to see if she does naughty things will mamma stop loving her? And mamma's answers are always soothing ... Read More
Rating:  - Does not "show" or "prove" anything- a very average book
I bought this book because I am part Native and I wanted to keep that heritage alive for my daughter. I also liked the illustrations, which are beautiful, and she does too.
I was very disappointed in the story, however.
Rather than telling a story, this book reports a conversation between a mother and daughter that goes as follows:
"Mama, do you love me?"
"I love you so much [insert metaphor here]."
"This much?"
"Yes."
"What if..."
"I ... Read More
Rating: - Lots of Value in a Simple Board Book
My husband purchased this book for our 18-month-old son, and it has become one of his favorite books. I like that it shows a parent's unconditional love no matter what. It teaches that someone can be angry at and still love another person at the same time. It has also taught my son a lot about emotions, something he has had a difficult time understanding up until now. It also shows cause and effect (i.e. If you do that, I will be angry).
Finally, it has been fun to learn a little about another ... Read More

The book was in excellent condition and was mailed to me promptly.
Rating: - Mama, do you love me?
I love this book and so does my 14 month old son. He loves the story and the illustrations. He sits "still" with me while I read it to him at his nap time and bed time and cries if I quit reading it. It is nice quiet, bonding time for us(he doesn't sit still for much). I feel it is suitable for his age and for when he is older. It has a great message. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
