This lovely picture book shows that love is unconditional.

Summary: This book describes a mother's love for her child. There can be a range of emotions that the child may be feeling and their mother will still love them because of who they are.

Critique: This is a good book to read at home with mom. It is a gentle reminder that we may get in trouble with our parents but they still love us no matter what.

Prompts: I do not think I would use this book at school; it is more of an at home book in my opinion.

Summary:
I Love You Because You're You, is a sweet book that teaches about how a mother loves her child no matter how he/she acts. The book provides several examples about why the mom loves her child. For example, the mom tells her child that she loves him/her when they are angry and pout. The moral to the story is that a mother loves her children at their best and worst times.

Personal Reaction:
This book reminded me of my childhood. My mother always told me she would love me through thick and thin. I think this story is a sweet book that every parent should read to their child while they are growing up.

Classroom Extension Ideas:
I Love You Because You're You would be a wonderful book to use for small children. Many kids just starting school or daycare have a hard time being away from their mom. This book would be a reminder that their mom loves them and will provide children comfort knowing that their mom loves them.

This story was about a child and its mother and the mother told him everyday i love you because your you not because you do nice things or eat all your food not even because you do what i say i love you just because your you.
I really liked this story because it tells children it doesnt matter what you do or what you say thier parents will ove you no matter so even iof the child is acting up or not really listening thier parents will still love.
As a class the kids could tell why they love thier parents what is something thier parents do that make them happy and what is something they do to make thier parents happy.
