Heartwarming Book

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago

Within 2 weeks of reading this book, my daughter knows the catch phrase, I love you forever, and ever, and always. It is heartwarming to have her sit in your lap and read along about the "wild creatures" and their offspring. I really enjoy this book especially because my daughter calls me Mama, and there aren't many books that refer to the mother by that term! So, it's especially dear to me!

A Bedtime Must Have

Our daughter has loved this book since the very first time we read it to her when she was about 10 months. It is a last-thing-at-night ritual now and she won't let us miss it. She even "reads" it to her dollies and stuffed animals in her crib. The gentle story and charming illustrations are what make this book so special. It makes a super baby shower gift, too!

A timeless beautiful book

A wonderful book. Why not ask " Mama, do you love me"? Everyone needs to be reassured of love, it is a natural human trait and to hear the little animals asking their mothers and the original answers is truly sweet. My 2 year old loves this book. The illustrations are fantastic and on some pages there are tiny little animals on the page too like a snail or lizard and my son loves to point these out to me. I recommend this book heartily. It seems to be under appreciated. A true gem.

Forever, and ever, and always

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago

I love reading this book to my daughter. The storyline is excellent along with the illustrations. We love seeing all of the baby animals asking their mommy's if they love them. It's wonderful to see how they relate their responses to their baby's to where they live with how much they love them. For example, when the baby rabbit asks his mother if she loves him and her response is, "Yes, little one, I love you as the earth loves you, cozy and snug around you, giving you a warm place to sleep. I love you as the earth loves you, forever and ever and always." It is wonderful to see how the book reinforces that you will be loved forever and ever and always. I look forward to reading this book to my daughter for many years to come. This is a must have for any child, mother or grandmother.
