This book is fun for young readers to engage in as they acquire early literacy skills, and a great opportunity for parents/guardians to connect with their children. Snowy is such a sweet main characters and you can't help but fall in love with him and his relationship with his mommy.

I love polar bears and I know most children do so too! This book is such a fun, heartwarming read. I love both the illustrations and the story. And perfect for reading at wintertime as well.

I love that the mom told her cub black and white are perfect colors for Polar bears. Ad no matter what color the cub is, she will always love them🥰🥺 Such a sweet story

What a really amazing book. Our toddler really enjoyed it. The illustrations are cute and I can see using this year round but also in the wintertime.

An heartwarming story about a little polar bear and his mom. A good reminder for moms too, that they might not always have the answer to everything, but with love, it will satisfied your kids. Cute book to read with kids, an easy one too, for those who starts to read.

Such a sweet little story that has cute illustrations to go with it. It captured my daughters interest very quickly and has become a favourite for bed time reading.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – there’s just something about polar bears and children’s books. I adored this one, from it’s precious cover, to the character of Snowy the Polar Bear – a little polar bear who knows quite a lot of things, such as what snow tastes like, how to climb an iceberg, when the sun rises and sets and the moon makes its first appearance, and even where to look for tasty fish. Unfortunately, there are quite a few things Snowy still doesn’t understand – such as where snow comes from, among other things, such as why he looks the way he does. The lesson of this one is so powerful: that we are loved undoubtedly for who we are innately. When Snowy asks his mother if she’d still think he was sweet and beautiful if his fur were yellow and purple, she immediately responds with “Of course” – And that’s because she loves him so much. This, of course, was one of the wonderful facts Snowy already knew.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Snowy the polar bear knows lots of things, but there are some things that he doesn't understand, and mommy tries to explain them to him.

This book has very few pages but lots of words. It starts with a mommy bear and a baby bear and the baby’s asking questions. The baby tells us everything they already know but then ask mommy when they don’t know something. These answers get long and while accurate a bit boring. This book wasn’t bad but it’s not something to add to my collection

Delightful children’s book about the love between a mama polar bear and her charming, curious cub. Reminiscent of Guess How Much I Love You in the love between mother and child but not at all derivative, Because I Love You So Much touches on the themes of never-ending childhood curiosity, a mother’s patience, and the unconditional love between mother and child. The illustrations are adorable. Highly recommended.

I received this book as an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley, and am grateful that I was selected to read this darling book.

This is a great little book for kids. Not only is the message simple, but the simplicity of the illustrations works well to get to the point without creating distraction.

This is a simple, short, and super sweet book about a mother’s love. The little polar bear knows a lot of things but doesn’t know everything. It asks the mother, who also doesn’t know everything but does her best to explain things (like where the snow comes from, why it is white, and why polar bears aren’t in multiple colors).
There isn’t much in this book except for a heartwarming feeling of a child being loved and treasured by the parent. The illustrations are childlike, with rough edges and soft colors. I guess this book is for teeny ones who like to go through the pictures more than the story.
To sum up, Because I Love You So Much will make a great bedtime book for toddlers and make them drift into their sleep with a smile.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and Clavis Publishing and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I wish there was a bit more about parents loving you unconditionally but there were some very sweet elements. The artwork is adorable and telling kids that parents don't always know everything is always something I appreciate in children's books.

This book had sweet elements and I felt like the story was going in a meaningful direction, but then it kind of dropped it in the end. I wish there was a bit more about the unconditional love. However, I know it’s also a great starting point for discussion with the kids listening to the story. The illustrations were very cute and served the story well.

Thank you NetGalley and Clavis Publishing for the digital copy!

Very sweet book in the tradition of "I Love you to the moon and back" and "guess how much I love you". Great for young children.

While the storyline left a bit to be desired, the illustrations are stellar! I liked that it was informational, but would have loved for it to have more of a purpose.
