Rating:  Summary: Buckets of Tears Review: I cannot recite this beautiful book to my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter without reading through tears. In a few words it shows the continuum of life from Grandma to son to granddaughter, just as in my life. Gianna loves to recite those lovely four sentences and I almost believe she understands the words - certainly the sentiment. I am giving gifts of "I'll Love you Forever" to three friends who will see their sons marry this summer, and tell them to read it in a quiet moment when all the festivities are over - and the true celebration of life's continuity begins. Thank you Mr. Munsch and Ms. McGraw
Rating:  Summary: Disturbing Book Review: I think Freud would have a field day with this one...It is disturbing to see a woman break into her adult son's bedroom with a ladder in the middle of the night. It is disturbing to see an adult son who has a newborn--sleeping in a twin bed with no wife in sight. It is disturbing to see an adult son hold his elderly mother ON HIS LAP (I love my mother dearly, but that is a bit over the top). The message I got from this book is "I took care of you son, now that I'm old, it's payback time!" I am pregnant and was offered this book as a gift and there is no way I will be reading this to my children. I want to raise them to be independant and have healthy families of their own--NOT to be so dependant on me that they cannot have healthy lives. The last message I want to give my children is that they owe me anything.
Rating:  Summary: Depressing Review: I did not like this book because it was very unrealistic.It also had too many words and we all know that a toddler would not sit through a very long book. Plus is a very emotional subject to read to a kid under the age of seven years old.I would only recommend this book for ages seven and older or if you're going to talk to a child about a relative who is dying or very sick. Personally, I would not buy this book for my three year old but is only my opinion.
Rating:  Summary: Love You Forever Review: Love You Forever Love You Forever written by Robert Munsch and published by Firefly Books Ltd. This was a very cute book I thought. What I liked most about this book is that no matter what the boy does or how he acts the mother will still always love him forever. This book is a book that shows how much love a mother has for her child. I would highly recommend this book!
Rating:  Summary: Love Yor Forever Review: LOVE YOU FOREVER My favorite book is Love You Forever because it's a true story about a little boy who grew up and lived with his Mother. His mother took care of him and whatever he did wrong his Mother still loved him. When his Mother died , the boy was a teenager and had the same life like his mother's. I also like this book because it has color and is well written. I would read this book to Toddlers who are four to five years old. It's shows a whole life cycle and is well written. So every mom has to bond with their baby. Every one will be stuck in the same situation. This book reminds me of my dads' father who died in Mexico. Every time, I watch the video of my dads Father's funeral, I feel bad seeing my dad really sad and really pale from not eating. Everyone is going to experience life and death at some time in their life. But anyways, this book is a really nice book and I will recommend everyone to read it. And it's also a good ending sentence. "If you love to Read" read, the book: I LOVE YOU FOR EVER!
Rating:  Summary: Love You Forever Review: The book, Love You Forever, by Robert Munch, is a good book for a special time. For example, if someone is very ill and not going to be with us for very long. The book shows that no matter how old your child gets, or how bad he or she is, you will always love them with all of your heart. Love You Forever represents true love and strong, caring emotions for other people. The book may not be good to read to children within the grades of kindergarten through second grade. It may not be a good idea because the children may have visions or thoughts of their own mother passing away. But, I would definitely buy this book and read it to my son when he gets old enough to understand the concept of the book.
Rating:  Summary: touching Review: i first read the book at the age of 5 and each time i read it it made me cry, for the past thirteen years it has had the same effect and it still gets to my heart every time i look at the cover
Rating:  Summary: What is wrong with you people? Review: I love my son. I love my son dearly. I love my son enough to establish healthy boundaries. I don't want to take this book too seriously, but I found it disturbing. Why is this guy in a twin bed as grown man anyway? Probably because his obsessive-compulsive mother was stalking him. Then, he starts the same thing with his daughter! Boy, is her future husband in for a surprise. I don't think it's a healthy message. The song just makes it creepier. I believe in loving your child, despite anything, throughout his or her life, I believe in kissing and hugging, I believe in affection. I do not believe in coddling grown children to the point of criminal action and inspiring an Oedipus complex. If you read this book to your children they may have nightmares about you climbing through their window in the middle of the night and watching them sleep. Ick.
Rating:  Summary: all-age appropriate Review: This book was given to me by my mother when I had a house-full of 4 children under the age of 4. I was busy, and set it aside for a day or two, until she said, " Read the book today, then call me." I read it, called her, and was told that she had terminal lung cancer. This book was the only way my mother could tell me how she felt about me. She was never one to be open about her feelings, and I honestly cannot remember her telling me she loved me, until the last 6 months of her life. By then I was over 35, and she started with this book. I would recommend this book for any age, any gender. The love it speaks of is one we all need to remember, and share with those close to us, even if we have to do it by sharing this book. Yes, there are a couple of extremes...climbing in her grown son's window?....but the message is one of importance. Read it.
Rating:  Summary: A parenting primer, a childs anthology Review: Robert Munsch puts into words the emotions of every parent who knows that the lasting legacy you give to your children is "love". And once every child who experiences the true love of their parent(s)is grown, will pass this greatest of all treasures on to the future.
