I Love You Little, I Love You Lots is an affirmation of love -- big and small, anytime and anywhere.

I love you here

I love you there

I'd love you almost anywhere

Over the hills

Across the sea

Wherever there's you

Wherever there's me.

I Love You Little, I Love You Lots is an affirmation of love as demonstrated between a rambunctious dog and a sweet cat. Featuring lyrical text by Douglas Wood and endearing, creative illustrations by G. Brian Karas, this picture book celebrates the universality of love, whether between friends or family members. It's perfect for Valentine's Day and family gift-giving.

Raves & reviews:

★ "A wonderful exploration of friendship, Wood's picture book offers a wealth of wordplay and rhyme... An instant classic that will be read repeatedly." -- School Library Journal, starred review

"Earnest pencil and digitally drawn art looks like it could be placed on a refrigerator alongside well-loved handmade notes and drawings. The anthropomorphic animals’ attachment to each other is without label, making for an inclusive tale that just about any caregiver could easily share with little ones at bedtime... There’s a lot of love here, and it’s all good." -- Kirkus Reviews
