Summary: A nightly ritual at our house
Comment: As soon as my two year old Ian is changed into his pj's and heads for bed, he starts repeating, "no matter what, no matter what" . It is by far the most popular book in our house and although I know it by heart and have looked at the pictures twice a day (it's a must before nap too) for the past 4 months I always notice another adorable detail in the illustrations that I hadn't noticed earlier. No matter what has become a saying in our house that makes us recognize the all encompassing love we have for our children. I adore the book and think that the author illustrator Debi Gliori has done an excellent job expressing the feelings of a parent to a child in a simple lovely whay that even a little two year old can understand. Buy it and read it to your baby every night.

Summary: Love the Illustrations No Matter What
Comment: Although this is not on the vaunted favorites short list when my 5 month-old and I turn to read books every night, it did make the "more frequented often than not" list and here's why...
...the illustrations are wonderful. The moral is good telling of unconditional love between Large (Mom Fox...but please don't call the real world mother that after shipping the boy off to bed and returning to your own bed...it won't be a happy household on the whole if you know what I mean) and Small (Toddler Fox). The language is fairly good sticking to simple rhymes but on the whole the love of words doesn't thoroughly seep through the pages. The story line is perhaps a little too "everything is rosy, put your index finger in your smiling dimple and wiggle it around" Polyanna. Not that optimistic feel good storybooks aren't the mark for childhood reading... But back to the illustrations...
...they are wonderful watercolors that drip and dip with creative colors and a wonderful sense of domestic haloed lights. It gives off a Florentine home Goddess warmth with an enchanted play between color light and shadow. My favorite as will probably be your child's as well, is the "squishy bug" that still gets loved and hugged. He eats holes in his gardening book and wraps his tentacles around Large's Fox ears. Wonderful enchanting stuff.
If you already have all the baby/toddler/childhood standards and classics by all means go get this one. ...

Summary: no matter what
Comment: My husband and I bought this book for our son when he was five months old. He just turned two and to this day it is his very favorite book. He want's us to read it over and over again and he even tries to read it to us. Every page has been taped back in at least twice because he looks at it all the time! We are going to get him another copy for christmas. I can't tell you what a great book it is. It is a perfect story for a parent and child to sit and read together.
