Leendert Jan Vis's For You is a small, charming picture book starring two giraffes, one of them recounting to the other how it was before love struck. Witty bon mots--"I want to run barefoot in the sand with you" and "How about we go right to happily ever after?"--are punctuated with the author's trademark fanciful images. An ideal gift book for lovers and lovers-on-the-verge.
