ISBN-13: 978-1612441788

Usually when you pick up a children's book that assures them of your love - forever and a day - it is basic and yet profound but definitely directed to the little ones.  In How long will you love me? the author and illustrator Patti Brassard Jefferson has succeeded in creating a book that you can give to a child or to that special adult in your life.

The illustrations are colorful and engaging. and you'll begin by looking for the heart on each and every page. Interwoven into each illustration is word-play and humor and the ever present promise to love you. Simply turn the page to get another jolt of loving promise with a touch of sweet humor via the delightful illustrations that will bring forth those little deep seated chuckles.

A nice book I can recommend and it'll make a nice gift.

    My son would enjoy this book because he loves for me to read to him before bed. He also is a loving little boy who delights in being told how much his mommy and daddy love him! :-)

    This is written simple enough to be a kids book so I can share it with my daughters but I can also share it with my spouse.

    The author reads books that weigh approximately 1.25 lbs each because 40 books weight 50 lbs.

    I think this would be such a sweet book to give my niece that she could read from now until she's older!

    I am sitting here, laughing to myself after visiting Patti at One Crayon Short. She has such a colorful way of writing... she grabs your attention and draws you into her life... What fun she must be!

    I enjoyed her story of packing for her book tour and the way she managed to travel with so many books. It made me laugh and want to read her book

    I think it is enjoyable for anyone to be told how much they are loved or in this case how long. The review really made me want to read it with my son and grandkids
