Is There More? Always More Love by Erin Guendelsberger

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, BUT THERE'S MORE IN MY HEART.
WHERE DO I START?

With a nod to Elisabeth and Robert Browning, those quintessential amorous Victorian poets, February is the time to express those "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways" thoughts.

But for kids not into long love letters in Spencerian handwriting, there are other ways to talk about love.

And in Erin Guendelsberger's Always More Love (Sourcebooks, 2020), the poet voicing the words of love is a fat red Valentine heart with stick arms and legs and big eyes who comes up with some interactive professions and confessions of love.
I'M NOT JUST RED--THERE'S MORE TO ME.
SHAKE THE BOOK TO SEE WHAT I CAN BE!

NOW MAKE A FACE--AS SILLY AS YOU WISH!
NOW BLOW YOUR BIGGEST, LOUDEST KISS!

Fans of interactive books like Herve' Tullet's Press Here (Baby Board Book, Learning to Read Book, Toddler Board Book, Interactive Book for Kids) (see review here), will get this newest one, illustrated with an active little narrator who believes that there's always more love, in a good alternative to a Valentine's Day card for preschool and primary readers.
