The repetition was deeply effective.
If a children's book were, for instance, about some issue such as Alzheimer's in a parent (early onset), grandparent, or another relative, it would be effective, and especially poignant, especially since repetition is so much a part of the experience of dealing with a loved one with dementia. Even the repetition of, "I love you."

I do think that it would be beneficial for there to be some sort of plot structure as well, though. Even if children can't fully understand every nuance of a story depending on their reading level, I'm not a fan of stories that have no substance at all.

But the over-simplistic story line and lack of plot or action seemed to be aimed at preschoolers.
Amazing that this book has generated so much discussion.

But it's less necessary for toddlers and beginning readers. Think of books like Good Night, Moon or Sheep In a Jeep that are repetitive with little to no story line because they are aimed at younger children.
