Summary: pre-school teacher's review
Review: I first read this book when I was working as a pre-school teacher (I'm now a stay at home Mom). It was given to me with the warning of "read it to yourself before you read it out loud to the class". Well I didn't listen and by the end of the book I was crying. It is a wonderful and touching story of a mother's unconditional love for her child and how the circle of life continues. I buy this book for EVERY baby shower I attend. This is my 2 yr olds favorite book we read it every night before bed. I recomend this book to anyone with children. Young children love the antics of the little boy as he grows and goes through changes. Wonderfully illistrated. Just one warning: Read it to yourself before you read it to your children, you don't want to be crying at the end.

Summary: Outstanding Story for Children and Adults
Review: I started reading this book to my daughter when she was four years old...she is now 15 and we still refer to the loving message inside the book: "I will love you forever, I will like you for always,and as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." Not one person I've recommended this book to hasn't agreed with me. This book makes an everlasting gift for any child. Buy it for the holidays, birthdays, or just because...it is definitely a book that will be passed on through the generations. Traditions are created when this book is read to a child the first time.

Summary: Love You Forever
Review: There is such a touching bond between a mother and son. I had this book when my son was 5 (he is now 16) and we still say this phrase to each other. I have searched for this and am elated to find again as I loaned my first copy out and it was never returned to me. I have ordered 2 copies 1 for myself and the other for my step-daughter and grandson.

Summary: Sicko Mom
Review: I'm sorry, but this book reaked. I mean I feel that the situations in the book carry motherly love just a little far. Maybe the writting is endearing to some. As for me I found this mother to be "without a life". It made it seem like all mothers do is live for their children with no independent life of their own. As much as I love my children (boy and girl), I wouldn't want to think of them as my baby for the rest of my life. I rejoice in sharing their growth and knowledge with the world. Maybe this mom and son live on a secluded island (planet) and neither realizes that there is indeed a real world where children do grow up and parents do lead their own lives. The part where she climbs through the window really made me sick. I asked myself "what's wrong with this woman?" Then I thought, "Oh I get it. She climbs through the window because her son is so sick of her that he won't open the door". My advice to all mother's, "Get a life so your children will enjoy having one."

Summary: Made Me Cry
Review: When I first came across this book in a bookstore, I had to drag Kleenex out of my pocket because it made me cry. Many of my friends who have young children have read it and all think it is wonderful. For me, it synopsizes the depth of love you feel for your child and the ultimate reward you reap from your loved little ones. I only found one drawback. I find it hard to read out loud to my children because I cry while reading it (still!!). My husband said that he thought it was a really sweet story. I agree that some people are reading too much into some of the little touches the author adds. It's just a sweet story. This is a story to read after you've had a tough day with your little ones.

Summary: Best description of the unconditional love from a parent
Review: I first read this book at a baby shower. As it got passed around, it made everyone get teary eyed, including myself, although I have no child of my own. I then bought this book for my mother on mothers day, to let her know that I would also love her forever, and would always be here like she was there for me. Now my sister is pregnant, and she too will get this book for her new baby. I believe every child should know that no matter what time may bring, no matter what they do, their parents will always love you (even if they don't really like you at the moment).

Summary: Love You Forever
Review: This is an excellent book for any parent, especially a mother of a little (or grown) boy. I keep several of the paperback copies on hand to give at baby showers for moms-to-be expecting a little boy. This book will touch your heart and showcase the special bond between a mother and child.

Summary: awwww...
Review: "Love You Forever" is the most sentimental picture book I have ever read. I saw it at my school library and read it upon the suggestion of my friend who had already read it. Tears rolled down my cheeks when I got to the last part---it was just so touching. I can't imagine anyone not liking this book. If so, why? I certainly am not a mother (I'm only 13!) but I really like this book. Keen readers will also notice that the illustrator is playing a little game with us: there's a cat in almost every picture in the book. First it is a grown striped cat (if I remember correctly) and then later as the little boy grows the cat is replaced by a black-and-white kitten.

Summary: This is a very sweet book
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It deeply touched my heart when I read it for the first time. The first thing is that I had a 2 year old at the time and I could identify even with the cover. Although some say the mother's comments in the story are mean i.e. "This kid is driving me crazy", I think the author is trying to touch on the reality of the frustrations we go through as mothers. I have two interpretations of the idea of the mother driving across town with a ladder to cradle her son. 1) it shows how that this mother had a routine for every night and she would do anything to make sure her son knew she loved him, which brings me into my second point which is that I think this book was supposed to have a hint of silliness in regards to this issue. My boys chuckled a little because they knew it was extrememe. They knew that mothers don't drive across town with ladders on the tops of their cars to rock their adult sons. The thing I really liked was that the mother had taught the some how to love and nurture. In the Bible in Proverbs 31 it says, "her children will arise and call her blessed." I thought it was wonderful how the son went to his mother and nurtured her when she needed him. I would hope that when I get old that my boys will care about me that much. Obviously, this did not go on forever as it mentions that one night she called him and asked him to visit soon. I don't think she was seeing him every night by this point. For those of you who rated this book as "perverse" and things of that nature, I feel sorry for you that you have nothing better to do than to be so critical and read in to every little thing. I protect my children but I also guide them and the know the difference. You can hide things from your children but eventually you have to give them guidance so they will know how to deal with life. It is people like you who try to make out movies like "Lion King" and other children's movies to be damaging to children. Get a life! You all must get offended by everything. P.S. Does anyone know the actual melody to the "I Love You Forever" song? I heard somewhere it was a folk song
