Consider Love by Sandra Boynton

This bouncy volume should please the palates of those searching for a sweet confection for a special someone.

- An appealing menagerie of Boynton's inimitable animal characters court and cavort through these buoyant pages, demonstrating how love comes in every shape, and style.
- Acting out emotions suggested by the minimal rhyming text, these critters demonstrate such phenomena as hopeful love (a rabbit's ears form the shape of a heart), love extravagant (an elephant presents his amour with an entire apple tree, roots and all), love perhaps foolish (a hippo dives head-first into a layer cake) and love overzealous (a beaver chomps heart-shaped designs on tree trunks).
- In a final spread, the animals gather together as the narrative winds to an unabashedly sentimental, sing-song close: Now consider one love in the midst of the crowd an affectionate love, neither timid nor loud.... A love that is steady, devoted, and true Consider my love for incredible you.

Aw, shucks. What's not to love or at least like?
