Summary: No Matter What
Review: "No Matter What" is a favorite book at our house even though our kids are ages 8 and 10! Debi Gliori's charming illustrations are the kind that the kids will go back and look at in order to find more details they missed the first 20 times. The concept is universal - is a parent's love really unconditional or does the love stop when the child does something unloveable? Small Fox is continually reassured by Large Fox that "I'd always love you, no matter what". Our favorite page is the squishy bug, and when one of our daughters has had a big meltdown, we pull out this book. By the time we get to the bug a smile is guaranteed to sneak in. A good companion book is Dr. Laura's "Why Do You Love Me?"

Summary: Love the Illustrations No Matter What
Review: Although this is not on the vaunted favorites short list when my 5 month-old and I turn to read books every night, it did make the "more frequented often than not" list and here's why......the illustrations are wonderful. The moral is good telling of unconditional love between Large (Mom Fox...but please don't call the real world mother that after shipping the boy off to bed and returning to your own bed...it won't be a happy household on the whole if you know what I mean) and Small (Toddler Fox). The language is fairly good sticking to simple rhymes but on the whole the love of words doesn't thoroughly seep through the pages. The story line is perhaps a little too "everything is rosy, put your index finger in your smiling dimple and wiggle it around" Polyanna. Not that optimistic feel good storybooks aren't the mark for childhood reading... But back to the illustrations... ...they are wonderful watercolors that drip and dip with creative colors and a wonderful sense of domestic haloed lights. It gives off a Florentine home Goddess warmth with an enchanted play between color light and shadow. My favorite as will probably be your child's as well, is the "squishy bug" that still gets loved and hugged. He eats holes in his gardening book and wraps his tentacles around Large's Fox ears. Wonderful enchanting stuff. If you already have all the baby/toddler/childhood standards and classics by all means go get this one. ...

Summary: A nightly ritual at our house
Review: As soon as my two year old Ian is changed into his pj's and heads for bed, he starts repeating, "no matter what, no matter what" . It is by far the most popular book in our house and although I know it by heart and have looked at the pictures twice a day (it's a must before nap too) for the past 4 months I always notice another adorable detail in the illustrations that I hadn't noticed earlier. No matter what has become a saying in our house that makes us recognize the all encompassing love we have for our children. I adore the book and think that the author illustrator Debi Gliori has done an excellent job expressing the feelings of a parent to a child in a simple lovely whay that even a little two year old can understand. Buy it and read it to your baby every night.

Summary: JUST A SO-SO BOOK
Review: IT'S AMAZING THIS BOOK HAS SO MANY 5-STAR REVIEWS. THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT IT. THE BOOK'S NOT BAD, BUT IN NO WAY A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR HOME LIBRARY. TWO MUCH BETTER BOOKS REGARDING UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ARE: MAMA DO YOU LOVE ME & I LOVE YOU STINKY FACE.

Summary: A Fun Book
Review: My 3 yr old granddaughter loves this book. I was spending some time with them and each night when I asked her which book she wanted me to read, she would respond,"No Matter What"!! A great addition to any children's library.

Summary: My daughters favorite!
Review: My daughter who is almost 8 months old loves this book (and has since she was 6 months old)! Whenever I pick it up to start reading to her, she giggles with excitement. The pictures are very large and colorful. Some of the text is written for the little fox so I use a little kid voice for those lines and that keeps her even more entertained.
A tip: since my daugher is very active it is hard to have her sit on my lap to listen to the story without her grabbing the book, so I put her in her "johnny jump up" and read to her that way. She loves this and listens intently as I read to her. I came on line today to buy her more books by this author. I hope the rest are as good as this one!

Summary: no matter what
Review: My husband and I bought this book for our son when he was five months old. He just turned two and to this day it is his very favorite book. He want's us to read it over and over again and he even tries to read it to us. Every page has been taped back in at least twice because he looks at it all the time! We are going to get him another copy for christmas. I can't tell you what a great book it is. It is a perfect story for a parent and child to sit and read together.
