Description
Take a moment to sit down and read with your little one as this cute pair of pandas compare their love to all the things they see. Dandelion clocks, tabby kittens and building bricks are just some of the fun items in the rhyming couplets that cascade through this beautiful read. This fun and bouncy text will keep your child engaged as they grow from baby to toddler. With a vivid yellow colour scheme, this sweet book is a visual as well as an emotional joy. The contrasting yellow and black help with eyesight development in babies, and children will love spotting the fun little details as they get older.
A cute and colourful way to show your child the deep affection between parent and child, grandparent and child and more, and a new take on the phrase 'I love you to the moon and back'. A story which pulls on the heartstrings, and a touching read to share with little ones this Valentine's Day.
About the Author
Mary Murphy is a Dublin-based author-illustrator of over 40 books; from board books for babies to fiction for children. With an advanced diploma in Visual Communications, Mary harnesses the power of pictures and words to develop both the eyesight and speech of babies and children as they grow. Her first book was written and published in 1997. Her ever-popular debut is all about a young penguin and older penguin who list the things they like to do together. It won the Parenting Magazine Gold Medal. Since then, she has gone on to receive a string of starred reviews and accolades in the USA, UK and Ireland for her work, which has also been adapted for TV. In Children's Books Ireland's 2018 campaign to mark the centenary of women's suffrage in Ireland, Mary was one of twenty 'Bold Girls' celebrated for having made 'an exceptional contribution to the canon of Irish children's literature'.
