Book Reviews of I Love You Like Crazy Cakes
Book Review: Essential for every adopted child's library
Summary: 5 Stars
A beautiful book; strong loving feelings are projected from the mother to her daughter. The positives of adoption are explained with empathy for the child's situation. Children reading this will feel proud of their origins, whilst feeling safe and secure in the care and love of their parents. Beautiful illustrations reflect the texts message of love and bonding between mother and daughter.Book Review: Good For Single Adoptive Mothers
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this book, but think that it is especially appropriate for single adoptive women. The adoptive mother is mentioned, but not an adoptive father or adoptive partner, which is totaly fine, of course, but when my husband and I read this to our daughter he feels left out. I usually add say "we" instead "I" and insert mommy & daddy etc.. The book is adorable, no matter what the adoptive parental situation is, but if you are a single adoptive mom, you MUST get this book.Book Review: An Excellent Addition to Any Family's Library
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite roles as a parent is introducing my children to families of many types. In "I Love You Like Crazy Cakes", my children can understand that sometimes Mommys and Babies become a family by being united via airplanes and adoption officials and guess what? The amazing love is the same. I especially loved that the author shared the gratitude and love for the "other" mother who provided the gift of this baby into her life. Beautifully stated and at times, overlooked.
The illustrations must be mentioned also: they are stunningly beautiful with the emotions of the subjects literally entering my heart from the page.

Book Review: GREAT BOOK!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book for children. We still have yet to buy it, but my sister is 3 and a China adoptee...she loves it! We read it EVERY time we go to the book store and we have also gotten it from the library. The pictures in the book are wonderful and it's a sweet, sweet story. Even though it's short it's very touching! I'd recommend it for any child adopted from China, as well as other places, actually it's a great story for anyone adopted or not! I think my sister will be finding it under the Christmas tree this year!
