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 in to 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

This is a fantastic picture book that is a metaphor for the overwhelming love one feels for their child (no matter what age). For all of those readers who can only read in co-dependent, Oedipal, or Freudian themes into this book, you have missed the entire point and have hearts of stone! The fact is that the author Robert Munsch wrote this book as a tribute to his TWO still-born children and that makes this story even more moving especially if you've lost a child or had a miscarriage. The story is an expression of imagining his kids and what they would have been like and how much he would have loved them their whole lives. I found this to be a very emotional and touching story (and I am not a sentimental woman at all). My 3-year-old, rough and tumble, only-loves-the-outside-and-trucks kind of boy really likes this story and has been requesting it for bedtime almost every night. He especially enjoys the verse that is the theme of the book, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as you're living, my baby you'll be." My son wants to hear us say that to him. And again to all those who wrote and thought that this book was "sick"; face it, you might not have liked how this book was portrayed, but you'll love your kids forever, no matter how old they'll get, and in spite of what they will do throughout the phases of their lives that might frustrate you. In fact, my husband likes this story so much that he plans to get it for his mother for Mother's Day. This is a must-have children's book!

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

Some have said this book is fine until the character of the mother, in the grasp of her love for her son, starts impinging on his privacy by sneaking into his teenage and adult bedrooms at night to rock him and sing her touching ditty. Come ON, folks, it's FICTION! Adults reading it to their kids are not going to use these scenes as suggested courses of action when their kids grow up, and, when the kids themselves are older, they certainly won't be expecting Mom at the upstairs window odd nights. The point being creatively made is the ongoing strength of the mother's love and how it is reciprocated by, and transfers to, her beloved child. Don't "read in" inappropriateness or overlay adult ideas of unhealthy codependency on this unusual but imaginative story -- you may simply confirm the veracity of its central message by asking randomly selected mothers to read the book aloud; nearly all will be choked up with emotion by the last page. And what do the kids think? Well, we have 300+ children's books in our house, and my 2-year-old and 7-year-old still bring our 4-year-old copy over to the couch for reading time several times a month. Final note: One day, several of us moms, agreeing that we all loved this book, sang our versions of the song for each other. Each had come up with a different, lovely tune for the lyrics, and each occasionally sings it for her children even when the book is resting on the shelf.

I still cry when I read it to my fourth child
No one can imagine the love in the heart of a woman and that love does not dimish with additional children or with time. This book has captured that timeless beauty of motherhood.
