Praise for Things I Love to Do with You

A rollicking, rhyming read-aloud gives kids ideas for things to do with someone else.
Kirkus Reviews

Lighthearted repetition (“Stick stickers,” “Scoot scooters,” “Toast toast”) will draw smiles among young readers, and the sheer variety of activities represented ensures that children of all types—rowdy, contemplative, mischievous, sporty, imaginative, always hungry—will find some of their own “loves” among the 100 Schwartz includes.
Publishers Weekly

**STARRED REVIEW** "The illustrations, all painted on white backgrounds and outlined in thin black lines, are pure delight in their variety and detail . . . The great variety of activities will elicit both delighted recognition and surprise; the detailed illustrations invite repeated one-on-one viewing."
School Library Journal

Focused on the enjoyment of micromoments in time, Schwartz does an equally amazing job with the illustrations to create an overall feeling of intimacy by celebrating simple acts of mindfulness.

About the Author

Amy Schwartz (1954-2023) wrote and illustrated more than 60 highly acclaimed books for young readers. She was best known for her warm, funny, child-centered picture books, including her 100 Things series, which Kirkus Reviews praised in a starred review: "With this trio of books, Schwartz solidifies her place alongside the likes of Kate Greenaway, Gyo Fujikawa, Helen Oxenbury, Shirley Hughes, and Marla Frazee as chroniclers of little ones' lives." Schwartz created two New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Books of the Year and won the Christopher Award, the Charlotte Zolotow Award, and the National Jewish Book Award, among others. Few picture book creators of recent times have known so well how to touch and delight young audiences.
