Always More Love
Kirkus Reviews
Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
An interactive book works to get its titular message across to readers.The narrator, an anthropomorphic cartoon heart with big eyes and stick arms and legs, is nothing if not exuberant in its attempts, clumsy and cloying as they may be. "I love you so much, / but there's more in my heart. / How is that possible? / Well, where do I start? // Now move in close, and you will see / just how much you mean to me. // My love is hugebelow, above. / As you can tell, there's always more love!" The page following the instruction to move in shows a close-up of the top of the heart and its eyes, one stick arm pointing skyward, though despite the admonition "you can tell," readers will glean nothing about love from this picture. la Herv Tullet, the book prompts readers to act, but the instructions can sometimes be confusing (see above) and are largely irrelevant to the following spread, supposedly triggered by the suggested actions. The heart, suddenly supplied with a painter's palette and a beret and surrounded by blobs of color, instructs readers to "Shake the book to see what I can be." The page turn reveals hearts of all different colors, one rainbow-striped, and then different shapes. Most troublingly, the heart, who is clearly meant to be a stand-in for loved ones, states, "I'm always here for you," which for too many children is heartbreakingly not true. Skip.
