Absolutely adorable

I got this as a cute little gift for my boyfriend for Christmas, and it's just so darling. I can see how it would be great for kids, partners, friends, etc. Perfectly inclusive with lovely drawings.

So many reasons / So many reasons / I like this book / I do

I LIKE YOU is a perfect little gift for anyone you hold close and dear to your heart. Warburg captures the essence of those few, important relationships in our lives that need no explanation, that fill us with warmth and provide us with unconditional support. The book is graced with delightful illustrations and Warburg's wonderful childlike verses such as this...I like you because if I think I am going to throw up then you are really sorryYou don't just pretend you are busy looking at the birdies and all thatYou say maybe it was something you ateYou say the same thing happened to me sometimeAnd the same thing didI just gave this book to my three closest girlfriends, as it perfectly sums up our relationships: I like you because because becauseI forget why I like youBut I doSo many reasons

Great for a close friend/mate

This book was a gift to me from a girl that I went to high school with and stayed close to in college. She gave it to me after we decided to move things past friendship into a relationship our sophomore year in college. I'll never forget the day I got it at school and how perfectly it fit us. Even though we have broken up since, I still read it and have fond memories of us. It is very fitting for couples who have been great friends and decide to move onto a loving relationship.

A campfire treasure

I was first introduced to this book when I was a counselor in training at a Girl Scout camp in Utah. It was performed as a skit at campfire every week. I was thrilled when I found out it was actually a book, when one of my camp friends gave it to me as a gift years later. Since then, I have read it together with every special friend I have. I know it by heart and often my friends and I quote from it. Especially the part about being lost in Grand Central Station...."hey where are you? "..."Here I am!" Share it with any special friend, child or adult. Sometimes the best lessons we learn as adults, are taught through the simplicity of a child.

Cb's praises

I will say quite simply that having read this book I can see more clearly who it is I truely care about. It describes friendship with an unmatched child-like simplicity that strikes the beats of every heart that's had a true friend. This book makes the perfect gift for anyone special in your life.

A book for any age

I was given this book as a child but it wasn't until I read it as an adult that I realized how special it is. Its perfect as a gift for friends, family, that special someone, or for yourself when you're feeling down. I read it whenever I want to remember how simple life can be or if I need a good laugh. I think it teaches you a lesson to live by: remember to be goofy sometimes and enjoy the silly moments in life with the people you love, I mean really enjoy them, like you would a parade, no matter what day it is!
