Each child is unique, beautiful message by author in the equally beautiful book for each child...
By Denis Vukosav
"I'd Know You Anywhere, My Love" by Nancy Tillman is a nice book that your pre-school kids will adore.What separates it from the rest of the children books is beautiful message of each and every child's uniqueness, the one that says that every child should be different and not to be ashamed about it. Diversity should be cherished and be proud of it.And when mother is telling her child that no matter what he or she will become, a giraffe, a bear or an owl, she'll always love him/her, the reader can only think that if all mothers were like her, this would be a better world in which to live..Besides beautiful message that this book is carrying, it's well-written and nicely designed with numerous animals' illustrations.This was the first Nancy Tillman book which I am aware of, but certainly it won't be the last.I fully recommend you give your child a chance to travel to a world of owls, camels, bears and giraffes, the world so beautifully presented by Nancy.

Sweet sentiment, sappy presentation.
By Ireland Mom
I am rewriting my review if anything just to delete the comments of overzealous people on here. The review process is supposed to be for people to honestly write what THEY think about the product purchased. For people to come on and go into long soap boxes and crucify the reviewer for being honest means that the review process is not being followed as intended.I rated this one star. People seemed to have HUGE issues with this. The rating system is as follows:1 star is for if you hate the item. 2 stars is for if you don't like it. 3 stars equals that you think it's just ok. and so on...I put one star because I hated the book. I thought it was totally sappy and boring. The sentiment is very sweet but the way it's written just comes across as overly sappy. I am not a hard person, and can be tender and easily melted by my children. I refer to them as love, lovey, and lovely ALL the time. This doesn't mean that I would assume that a book is sappy because it contains the words "my love" in the title. It could just just as easily mean that the book is sweet without being sappy, or that a parent considers their child to be their little love, etc. However, because there seems to be so much anger directed towards me for not liking this book (and saying so!), I am changing the review to a two star, which means I don't like it. This is not some aggressive statement about gender roles, or being sweet with your kids! I'm simply stating that I don't like the book. None of my kids (several children from 2 - 7 years old) liked the book. They all thought it was boring and silly. Take it however you may, but please don't sit and pummel me with comments about how I shouldn't rate this with one or two stars just because you disagree. There are plenty of people who commented on my last review that they would also rate this with one or two stars for the same reason I did - they didn't like it because it is sappy. Everyone else who disagrees, get over it already! If you love the book, buy 25 copies and pass them out to others. I am entitled to my opinion and feel that I should be honest for the sakes of those, who like me, would find this a waste of money.
