Summary: A very thoughtful story
Review: This book is great for people of all ages. It's a great story for children and also a great gift. Give it to a new reader or to your mom to show her how much you care. It's also a great story to help show the importance of family and for loving people for who they are, not what they do. BUY IT, READ IT!

Summary: Love You Forever Review
Review: I felt that the story "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch was a good story for students ages 4-8. There are excellent illustrations that work well bringing the story to life. Children will laugh at the end when the mother drives across town and still sings the song to her son. The children will be able appreciate at the end of the story when the roles are reversed and the father is now singing the song to his own daughter.

Summary: Is there such a thing as ZERO stars?
Review: This has got to be the freakiest children's book I have ever read. It's about a mother who can't let go of her children and who resorts to literally crawling across her son's floor in the middle of the night -- throughout his life -- just to hold him. I'd like to think that the many folks who have given this book praise are not mentally unstable, but can't help but wonder. This book is for tjose mothers trying to justify the use of their own talons in the lives of their children. It's an unhealthy demonstration of positive parent/child relationships and should not be placed in any home, much less read or even published anymore. I strongly recommend against this book -- unless of course, you're a psychotic mother is serious need of mental help. If you click "purchase", the next thing I'd recommend doing is admitting you need help and finding a psychiatrist ASAP. This is not a good book; this is a tragedy.

Summary: A children's story of a mentally ill woman...
Review: Probably the worst book for children I've ever read.
I always look at a book with an open mind, but I just can't ignore the fact - this book is horrible. It is the story of a compulsive, obsessive woman in need of some serious psychiatric help. Clothed as a sappy children's story, it is about a woman who tells her child repeatedly how much she loves him, and forever, over and over again, instead of showing him with loving actions. As he grows up, she still rocks him to sleep as if he is a baby. What teenager would let his mother SNEAK into his room at night to rock him to sleep? Well, it doesn't end there, because after he moves on, and gets married and has children of his own, she sneaks into his house while everyone is asleep, crawls across the floor, and pulls him out of bed to rock him to sleep! To prove she loves him? Is this what love is? Is this what you want your children to think love is? A healthy loving mother grows with the child to build a new adult relationship with her child, as friend, mentor and parent. Her son in the end perpetuates this behavior with his own child, showing the only redeeming value of this book - demonstrating how sick behavior is passed on from one generation to the next. This story is totally inappropriate for children...as is most of Robert Munich's other books..

Summary: A story your child will want to read over and over
Review: This book makes a great gift to welcome a new baby to this world. My two year old picks this book often when reading before bed. Your child will enjoy this book at any age ,as the boy in the story goes through all the stages of life. Someone once said your children will always be your children no matter how old they are.

Summary: a great bed time book
Review: I got this book for my son when he was 3. It became a bedtime favorite and if I didn't read it I had to at least sing the song EVERY NIGHT. He is now 13 and when his little brother came on to the scene a few months ago he went to his bookcase and pulled this book out and had me read it to his brother. ( he has kept his copy.)He has even adjusted the words of the song to fit him and his little brother. The impact of knowing what ever you do your mom will still be your mom (or big brother) and love you is a strong message.

Summary: A Must Have
Review: This book is a must have especially for first time parents. It captures that unimaginable new found love a mother has for her child. I cry every time I read it!

Summary: The most touching book I've ever read
Review: My grandma had this book laying around and I happened to read it while visiting her (several years before I had a child). It was the sweetest, most touching book I'd ever read. Robert Munsch has managed to capture the true spirit of unconditional love. I bought this when I was pregnant for our daughter's library, and had a good cry all over again when I read it after bringing it home. I still can't read it (especially out loud!) without crying. I bought this for my best friend when she found out she was expecting, and she loves it, too. Everyone - old, young, parents, grandparents, even single people - should own this book.

Summary: For Grown-ups, too
Review: This sentimental story about a mother's endless love for her son is sure to bring a tear to adult eyes. Children take such love for granted, but adults, knowing how time sometimes changes things, will appreciate the devotion of mother to son, and later, son to mother. Kids won't worry about Mom climbing in the window because they recognize this as a silly thing. They'll get the message: they are loved.
