Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
I Love Us: a Book about Family with Mirror and Fill-In Family Tree
Clarion Books · 2020
63/100
👎 Skip It
The built-in mirror so your own family literally reflects back at you, plus a fill-in family tree, is a genuinely clever hands-on touch for a keepsake gift book. It keeps its 'big, small, silly, messy' framing broad without singling out any one structure, which is a plus, but there's no independent review backing up the writing itself.
