I Love You the Purplest

Two boys discover that their mother loves them equally but in different ways.

In this story, two young brothers and their mama finish supper in the sturdy red cabin and set out to fish for the evening. While digging for worms, rowing the boat and pulling in fish, each brother asks his mama which one is the best at each task. Their mother does simply points our good things for each of them, rather than picking which is better. Then later, as they are being tucked into bed, they ask her which one she loves the best. She explains that she loves on the bluest to him, and all the reasons why. And when the other asks, she says she loves him reddest, and all the reasons why. ( )

This book is about two young boys and their mother. As the boys and their mother are going about their day the boys continuously ask which brother is better at different tasks they are completing. As the boys are going to bed they ask their mom which brother she likes better and which one she loves the most. Of course the mom could not answer that question. I liked and enjoyed this book very much. One of the main reasons I enjoyed this book so much is because it reminded me of my sisters and I. When we were kids my sisters and I would constantly ask my mom and dad who their favorite child was. My mom and dad would make comments like "I don't have a favorite, I love you all equally." Or they would make jokes and say "it just depends on the day." Therefore, this book reminded me of that and made me feel nostalgic and happy. ( )
