Love You Forever

Love You Forever, written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Sheila Mcgraw, is a picture book story that, while reading, feels a little bit, like being on a roller coaster. The story describes the love a mother has for her wild son.  As the roller coaster goes up, the story gives a quiet, reflective feeling as she sings a lullaby and then goes rushing down with feelings of craziness and bafflement as the child makes the mom feel like her son belongs in a zoo. Years after my mom read me this story and eventually, being able to read it myself, it still makes me very sentimental.  A mother can read Love You Forever to their newborns and continue to read it as they grow up.  Every household could use a copy.  I, also enjoy how, on each page, the text has a repetitive format, so it would be a beneficial read for a student learning English.  The illustrations do an exquisite job of supporting the text and instigating emotional feelings.  Lily Woll
