This is a cute book about elephants, you can assume a partner and child, and the love they share. The book addresses counting and rhyming, as well as being a very sweet story of catching stars and putting them in pickle jars. ( )

This seemed like a nice bedtime story. It seems to be about the fun a parent and child could have together. I loved the repetition and how the story makes a full circle referencing the stars in a jar at the end as well as the beginning. ( )

This a simple and easy book to share with students about a mother and son from counting 1-10 and back again.

Summary: 1,2, I Love You is a counting book that has rhymes. Very playful and fun book that goes from 1 to 10 and "then back down again" Featuring a Parent elephant and child elephant who travel together though the numbers.
Review: Great watercolor illustrations from a Caldecott Medal award winner. Great scenes that add a lot to the book.
School Use: I would use this as a read aloud in a kindergarden or 1st. grade classroom.
