“I Love You More” is one of the sweetest books I have read to my kids in a long time, and I want to give you the opportunity to share it with your family.

I Love You More is a simple flip book (it ends in the middle and starts from either side) story that illustrates what love looks like from both a child’s and a parent’s perspective. With a simple, touching story, rhyme and rhythm, and vibrant child-like illustrations, this book is a treasure for anyone who has ever said “I love you” and heard the best response in the world, “I love you more.”

You can’t say I don’t love you, because looky here:

Color printing on-the-go — it even has a handle! This also means it is more likely to get put away when you’re done using it thereby giving you one less thing to clutter up your house. This is very clever. But you don’t have to take my word for it, check out the full specs.

The Epson PictureMate Dash Photo Printer makes it easy for consumers to print photos - just simply insert a memory card, choose a photo and press print. Additional features include:

• Print durability: PictureMate prints resist fading up to 96 years in a glass frame and about 200 years in an album; prints also resist smudges, scratches, water, and fingerprints.
• Fast print speeds: The PictureMate Dash produces a borderless 4″x6″ print in as fast as 37 seconds.
• LCD: PictureMate Dash features a large 3.6″ adjustable tilt LCD making it easy to view, select, crop, and edit photos, as well as watch slideshows.
• Auto Photo Correction: PictureMate Dash automatically adjusts photos to correct improperly lit images - allowing you to get the best print possible, even from a bad picture.
