 Wow... July 28, 1999

a lot of the reviewers talk about this book like it is the Bible or something. Perhaps the Freudian overtones aren't terribly damaging to children, who do not catch the adult interpretations of this book; however, the subtle message of mother-son/father-daughter exclusivity in a family is extremely one-dimensional. I find myself rolling my eyes everytime I have to put it on the shelf for a visit because a well meaning relative gave it to us. This is not because I've never experienced unconditional love or just hate the world. I love my parents and my children, and I show that love through healthy demonstrations. I don't say that my child is zoo-like in any behavior (he isn't), nor do I creep around on floors so I can hold my adolescent son in my arms in the middle of the night. Label me unimaginative and negative; I know differently. The relationship portrayed in this book is peverse.
A must read for any parent--unconditional love at it's best July 11, 1999

This book will touch your heart! It is a must have for all parents. I read it the first time very reluctantly; I now read it at least once a month--never without a dry eye. It shows how precious our children are and how precious the times we have with them are, even when we want to scream! It tells us to make the most of the times we have when they're young because those years go so very fast.
Wonderful book June 19, 1999

The first time I heard this book I was in the 3rd grade. It went straight to my heart and stayed there... Everytime I read this book I get teary eyed. It shows a strong everlasting devotion between mother and son showing that no matter how old one gets they can never get too old for their mommys love! 5 full stars.
Just buy it and rediscover your emotions June 17, 1999

I am a 43 year old cynical businessman. I love the book and have bought multiple copies as gifts. I find it difficuly to read it to my 6 year old because I 'choke up' each page. A simple and delightful book.
 Sweet look at the mother/son relationship May 28, 1999

"Love You Forever" is a story that will get mothers everytime. Although somewhat unbelievable, the story is cute and the illustrations funny. When the tear came to my eye at the end of the story, it immediately reminded me of the book "Something to Remember Me By" by Susan Bosak. What a touching story about the grandaughter/grandmother relationship! The illustrations alone make the book a must have, and the perfect gift for a grandmother in the family. You "Love You Forever" fans won't be dissappointed.
