Summary: The story starts when a mother has a baby and tells him, I will love you forever, like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be. She tells him this through out his life, as he is a toddler, a child, a teenager and a man. When the mother gets elderly, the son picks her up and tells her what he as been told his whole life.
Reaction: This book really makes me emotional and I really love it. My mother read it to me as a child and gave it to me for one of my birthdays. I think that this book really hits a soft spot with almost everyone who reads it.
Potential Problems: Because this book repeats itself, children learn to memorize it instead of read it. This doesn't really help children learn to read but it is still not really a problem.
Recommendations: I think that every parent should read this book to their children. It will instill in them that there is a strong bond between parent and child that goes on forever.
