Consider Love, It’s Moods and Many Ways by Sandra Boynton
Consider Love, Its Moods and Many Ways by Sandra Boynton is the perfect book to cuddle up with to read with your special someone this Valentines Day – in my case it will be three special someones – my awesomely cute two little boys and my one big one.
Sandra Boynton breaks out all of her classic characters: pigs, cats, hippos, turkeys, rabbits, rhinos, bears, penquins, gorillas, turtles and more, for an exploration of all kinds of love. Simple love, frivolous love, love mysterious, cautious love and love that’s daring, foolish love, eloquent love and never-told love. Each kind of love is acted out by the animals in a sweet, humorous way.
It’s ending makes Consider Love, Its Moods and Many Ways a perfect gift giving book (I’d like to say this was given to me by a special someone but I bought it myself at a library sale):
Now consider
one love
in the
of the crowd -
an affectionate love,
neither timid nor loud.
A love that appreciates
fire, and grace.
A love that adores
one remarkable face.
A love that is
steady,
devoted,
and true -
Consider my love for incredible you.
Perfect in every way. Really Boynton can do no wrong.

one love
in the ???
of the crowd ”
Context and meter don’t work the way it is.
