WWWWWH: WHAT about me?
Jean Marzollo: I love you, too!
WWWWWH: I want to ask you about I LOVE YOU: A REBUS POEM. WHY do you love that book?
Jean Marzollo: Because kids can read it before they understand phonics. I find that if I read it once or twice to a 4-year-old, the 4-year-old will be able to read it back to me. I love that!
I LOVE YOU

WWWWWH: WHAT children's book did you love most when you were little?
