As Demers\u2019 rhyming text suggests, love occasionally makes parents say ridiculous things: \u201cI great big meal and tiny snack you.\u201d It also stirs overpowering emotions (\u201cAnd on each clock \/ My favourite minute \/ Is every one \/ That has you in it\u201d). Some of the book\u2019s sentiments are a bit cliched\u2014\u201cAnd every year \/ my love lasts longer \/\/ And every week \/ my love grows stronger.\u201d Others are entirely original\u2014and more than a bit goofy: \u201cI sure do love you \/ Yes, I adore you \/\/ And I a window \/ And I a floor you.\u201d The text is silly, sweet, and easy to identify with; children will find it appealing.
