PreS-Gr 1-Displaying a tin ear for language as well as a lack of imagination, Fallon adds to the groaning shelf of Guess How Much I Love You! variants an extended grandma/toddler exchange written in stumbling verse: "Forever from one past one hundred and four, / You'll always love NANA but NANA loves YOU more." More than rainbows and dreams? "More than three scoops of your favorite ice cream!" And so on. Taking a cue from Leo Lionni at his most elemental, Ord��ez composes props and a cast of stubby, googly-eyed animals from simple geometric shapes and arranges them against monochrome backdrops to illustrate the sequence of trite scenarios. Sharper observers will deduce that the two almost unrecognizably stylized pandas posed in most of the pictures are stand-ins for the narrators, though only twice do they ever actually make eye contact with each other. The author's name on the cover ensures demand, but there are many better written and better designed exemplars of the general premise. VERDICT A celebrity product, unvarnished and unlikely to be read more than once.-John Peters

Fallon and Ordóñez’s latest family-oriented collaboration salutes grandmothers’ boundless, selfless love. The book’s starring duo, near carbon copies of one another, are highly stylized creatures with panda-like markings and sweet smiles. Most of the book’s rhyming, greeting-card-like lines explore the “more” of the title, starting with “You’ll always love NANA,/ but NANA loves YOU more.” Attending alternatingly realistic and fanciful vignettes portrayed in blocky art, grandchild and grandma express intergenerational affection with simple call-and-response rhymes. “More than rainbows?/ More than dreams?” the cub asks. “More than three scoops/ of your favorite ice cream!” says Nana, holding up a triple-scoop cone. With bright colors, simple shapes, and a singsong beat, it’s a volume tailor-made for toddler snuggling. Ages 1–3.
