Summary: WONDERFUL!!!
Review: This is one of the sweetest books that I have ever read. Every time I read it I cry. Although the behavior by the mother may see a little weird, it is not meant to be taken literally, it is an exagerated account of a mothers love for her child. I have given this book to many friends and they all love it! My 3 year old son also loves it. I would reccomend it to any parent.

Summary: I think this is one of the best!
Review: I read this book for the first time when my child was a year old. I cried as I kept on reading. This book about a boy and his single mom is wonderful. Being a single mother myself I found it a very refreshing. It just goes to show you how strong the love and bond between a mother and her son.

Summary: Excellent family reading...love from cradle to end of life
Review: My family gathers around and reads/sings this book together. This mothers love begins for her tiny baby...and his love for her carries through as she grows old. The transition from loving parent to loved parent is touching. I hope that my children see this modeled in our home and care for us as diligently as this man cares for his aging mother.

Summary: A fantastic book for mothers of all ages
Review: This is a favorite book of mine to read to my children. It completely describes the unconditional love a mother feels for her children and offers a glimpse into the future when a mothers love is returned by the unconditional love of her grown son. After reading this book to my adopted grandmother, she immediately bought three copies of it to give to her grown children with kids. I highly recommend this book for every child's library.

Summary: Humorous and touching-- a must for your child's bookshelf.
Review: This book is not meant to be taken literally, as if we are all supposed to climb a ladder to our grown children's bedrooms and hold them at night. The lengths the fictional mother goes to to hold and rock her child are humorous, and are a metaphor for the way many mothers feel about their children. (The illustrations showing the son at various stages of his childhood are also humorous.) When the son, as a grown man, later returns the favor and rocks his ailing elderly mother on his lap, the book takes a touching turn as the love is reciprocated. Later, he goes home and rocks his own son. I have read this book numerous times and have never been able to finish it without getting all choked up. Luckily, my daughter understands. It is a wonderful way to show children the "circle of life" and how love is woven through generations.

Summary: Avoid this very disturbing book.
Review: This book is bizarre. My wife and I heard about it at a birth class. It was recommended in connection with sibling issues. So we bought it, sight unseen. However, instead of dealing with the problems a young child might face when a new baby comes along, this book is about the weird love of a mother for her son. She may love him, but she can't tell him. She can only sneak into his room at night and rock him while saying the verse that's repeated over and over in the book. Sound innocent? She crawls into his room when he's a teenager and climbs a ladder into his bedroom when he's a grown man gone from home. This is weird behavior. The book should be called "My Eternal, Obsessive, Creepy Love." Avoid this very disturbing book.

Summary: Highly recommended - very touching!
Review: Love You Forever is perhaps the most touching book I have ever read to my children. The story is warm, humorous and ultimately quite moving. The illustrations are beautiful and add to the depth of the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone. Be warned that it will bring tears to your eyes and a lump to your throat as you read it for the first time.

Summary: Wonderful song - but sick behavior.
Review: I don't get it. While I do understand the love for the song -- the "I'll love you forever, like you for always" sentiment, I was appalled the first time I saw the book. It appeared to me the mother was practically "stalking" her son. Crawling around on the floor to peer at him at night, driving by his house, then climbing a window into her grown son's bedroom. I thought that, rather than protraying the healthy kind of forever love any mother has for her child, it portrayed a desperate, sick, possessive sort of love. This mother's bizarre behavior gives me the creeps.

Summary: wonderful, heart pounding, great for all ages
Review: This book was a great buy. I love it and so does my four year old. I did have a hard time reading it as it brought tears to my eyes. I have given it to several of my friends to read and they all love it too. Great book.

Summary: The New York Times #1 Best-Seller is in its 56th Printing!
Review: "Every mother and child needs to share this book. You won't forget [it]. This book captures your heart and won't let go. I can't tell you more, the tears are starting." ------St. Charles JournalA young woman holds her newborn son and looks at him lovingly. Softly she sings to him: I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, My baby you'll be. This is the story of how that little boy goes through the stages of childhood and grows up to be a man. It is also about the enduring nature of parents' love and how it crosses generations. This is an extraordinarily different story by Robert Munsch. It's a gentle affirmation of the love a parent feels for his or her child. Sheila McGraw's soft and colorful pastels perfectly complement the sentiment of this book. "Love You Forever" is a book that both children and adults will enjoy--over and over again. This book is deeply personal to the author. Munsch dedicated the book! "to Sam and Gilly," two stillborn babies his wife delivered before the couple adopted their three children. The repeating refrain in the book is a song he made up for these babies. Robert Munsch has been a storyteller for children for more than 20 years. Kids love his funny and irreverent tales like "The Paper Bag Princess", "Something Good", and "Purple, Green and Yellow". They are so completely in touch with kids' feelings and perceptions that more than 10 million of the "Munsch For Kids" series have been bought, and enjoyed by kids since 1980. Look for his upcoming title "Munschworks". Sheila McGraw was a graphic designer for many years before she began illustrating children's books. Sheila now creates children's craft books that have won awards and been best sellers ("Papier-Mâché for Kids", "Gifts Kids Can Make", "Dolls Kids Can Make). She also illustrated the best-selling "I Pr! omise I'll Find You". Her latest award-winning title i! s "Painting and Decorating Furniture". "Love You Forever" is available in paperback, big-book size (16"x 16"), in cloth with a case (slipcase or boxed), in hardcover, and has been translated into Spanish and French.
