Editorial Review:
The mother sings to her sleeping baby: "I'll love you forever / I'll love you for always / As long as I'm living / My baby you'll be." She still sings the same song when her baby has turned into a fractious 2-year-old, a slovenly 9-year-old, and then a raucous teen. So far so ordinary--but this is one persistent lady. When her son grows up and leaves home, she takes to driving across town with a ladder on the car roof, climbing through her grown son's window, and rocking the sleeping man in the same way. Then, inevitably, the day comes when she's too old and sick to hold him, and the roles are at last reversed. Each stage is illustrated by one of Sheila McGraw's comic and yet poignant pastels. (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr
A 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."

Rating:  - Absolutely beautiful book about mother/child love
This book is absolutely beautiful. I've never been able to read it to my toddler without crying.
Rating: - Wonderful book
I used to read this book to my boys everynite when they were little. Now I have a 6 month old grandson of thought of this wonderful book for his parents to read to him.
Rating: - Love you Forever Excelent
It's hard to admit but I had to read this book at least a dozen times before I could get to the end without tears. Although the book is written on a preschool level, it has such deep inter meanings that relate to my own personal life experiences from raising 4 children and 10 grandchildren.
Rating: - bittersweet memories
Years ago, I bought this little book after reading it in a bookstore and crying because it was so bittersweet for me. As the aging mother of an only son, it struck a chord in my heart. I lost the book even before I got home so never got to give it to him. At a funeral recently for their father, 2 teenaged girls read this in recognition as the book their dad had read to them frequently as a bedtime story. Wasn't a dry eye left in the church! Now knowing the title, I ordered 4 copies to give as ... Read More
Rating: - You folks who think this book is creepy are WEIRD
Incest? Stalking? are you kidding me??? Stop watching so much "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit"! This story is as sweet as can be. It saddens me that some people think being affectionate with your child is "creepy".
