Bookroo's summary

Imagine if animals expressed love like humans. From whales shooting bubbles to gorillas snuggling, each creature has a unique way of showing affection. Dive into a world where every animal's love is special, and explore the playful rhymes and charming illustrations that bring these heartfelt gestures to life. Perfect for bedtime, this delightful tale invites families to giggle and wonder about the ways animals, big and small, say 'I love you.'

From the publisher

If animals said “I love you” like we do…how would they say it? Whale would make bubbles shoot from her spout. Boa would give her hatchlings a hug. Gorilla would snuggle his child to sleep. And across the animal kingdom, every creature would show love in a special way. Ann Whitford Paul and David Walker are back with If Animals Said I Love You, a sweet imagining of love in the animal world.
