About the author

William Steig was born in New York City in 1907. In a family where every member was involved in the arts, it was not surprising that Steig became an artist.

He published his first children's book, Roland the Minstrel Pig, in 1968, embarking on a new and very different career.

Steig's books reflect his conviction that children want the security of a devoted family and friends. When Sylvester, Farmer Palmer, Abel, Pearl, Gorky, Solomon, and Irene eventually get home, their families are all waiting, and beginning with Amos & Boris, friendship is celebrated in story after story.

This is an odd book about love. I guess it’s good in some ways as it shows different types of relationships and how they change over time. The artwork seems messy, even for William. There are some good puns in this book. There is one line per page like a cartoon. This isn’t really a story, but just little snapshots of love. I do like the end. ‘Till death do us part’ and it shows a very old couple.

I do like a story and I do like puns. This has some puns, but not really a story. It wasn’t my favorite.

The nephew thought it was odd, so he kind of enjoyed the little story. He gave it 3 stars. He didn’t really get it though.

It is always a good time to tell those you love that they are special...we never know when our last opportunity will pass us by.

The many ways to say I love you, including some that don't sound that loving, like, "Where there's smoke, there's fire." And, "In spite of everything, I love you." Great illustrations by Steig.
