(3) PS Illustrated by Sydney Hanson. "So here's the thing. I love you." In this funny valentine (successor to Next to You: A Book of Adorableness), an unseen parent narrator expounds on unconditionally loving a child as humorously nostalgic illustrations show animal babies doing not-so-lovable things (e.g., a young skunk surrounded by a dark cloud moves the narrator to say, "I can't lie--some things are a bit tough to take").
