I Love You Like Crazy Cakes by Rose Lewis, Illustrated by Jane Dyer
The following book was reviewed by
CAROLYN HOWARD-JOHNSON
I Love You Like Crazy Cakes by Rose Lewis is a lovely little board book destined to become a keeper for any adopted child. The author sings a lullaby in prose to her newly adopted Chinese baby, one that baby and others will treasure. Illustrator Jane Dyer captures a nostalgic 40s look that still manages to look up-to-date.
A book that is narrowly targeted to adoptive parents and children, I believe it would be most appreciated by those who have brought into their homes an Asian child. For these few, I know of no other book that will sing its song as poignantly. For adopted children of other ethnicities, the sentiments will still chime true.
