Love You Forever

Title: Love You Forever
Author: Robert Munsch
Illustrated: Sheila McGraw
Genre: Realistic Fiction

This is a story of a mother that has a little boy and sings to him at night time before bed, while he is going to sleep. As the book progresses the boy gets older as does the mother, yet she still feels the need to hold him and sing to him about her love for him. She reminds him that he will always be her baby, which becomes ironic at the end of the story when the mother grows too old to carry her son and her son begins to carry her and sing to her at last. The story finishes with the son walking upstairs to his new baby girl and he sings to her, the song his mother sang to him all of his life.

This story could create an awesome lesson on tradition, and learning the meaning of the word "tradition". I think it would be a fun lesson to do to as all of the kids if they have any traditions in their family and what they might be!!

This book was read to me growing up and it is one of my favorites!
