I'm one of the people who reads this story and cringes - it is a story about making love into a competition which the child can never win.
There are over a dozen reviewers over at Amazon who also had this reaction to the book - while, as evidenced here, there are many more who love the book.
I'm always surprised that people don't have more empathy for the child in the story - and feel his defeat as he becomes exhausted trying to tell his parent how much he loves them, never to have the sentiment accepted - only outdone.
I honestly can't imagine a way in which this would be a positive story.

Whenever I read this book to my kids I cried! That last line, "I love you right up to the moon - and back." gets me every time.

The text is simple and sweet - perfect for a quick read with my 2yr old. And he loves imitating the baby bunny's movements. Also, the artwork is beautiful and wonderful for this age group.

I found this to be a sweet book with a message that a child will find reassuring. The parent is essentially saying, "I love you more than you can possibly imagine." The illustrations are done in warm, soothing colors. Great bedtime book.

Such a beautiful book! It's about a father and son telling each other how much they love one another... my son loves this book and tries to find creative ways to tell me he loves me.
