This book evolved from my Mother saying, " I love you little, I love you big, I love you like a candy pig!" When my children were young, we made up several verses to add on. You can do the same! Our favorites are in the book.This book has taught many children to read, as it has a rhyming pattern, an opposite, and a picture/context clue on each page. You will see! If printed, it is also a coloring book.
