Robert Munsch Love You Forever Book Review

My 7 year old daughter brought this book home from school she read it to my wife and I in the car and I am not going to lie I got choked up with Goosebumps. A very powerful book with powerful words books usually NEVER choke me up but this one makes you hang on every word. The main phrase in the book

"I'll love you forever / I'll love you for always / As long as I'm living / My baby you'll be."

It hits you hard as a realization of life. This little classic is readily and easily digested by one who has known the true love of a mother. The book rolls threw a mother nurturing her child to adult hood the child moving out and having a family of his own. The book touches on the tender and precious time at a mother’s bedside before her death.

The scenes with the mother coming to the man's apartment are actually his memories of her love. The book shows the love poured into the son by his mother that has taught him how to love his new baby daughter at the end.

I give this book 5 stars out of 5 just because how hard the book hit me with its powerful words. Love begets love, I highly recommend Love You Forever to anyone who enjoyed a wonderful love with their mother. I will say one thing the book is a little emotionally heavy for a children’s book but I think this book read with a parent and child just tightens the bond.
