'A mother held her new baby and
very slowly rocked him back and forth,
back and forth, back and forth.
And while she held him, she sang:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.'
Listen to Robert Munsch read his books to children at the Robert Munsch Virtual Story Room.

ReplyDeleteWe have that book! I read it to my children when they were little and I love it.
ReplyDeleteI have always teared up when reading this story... it is SO TENDER... but, now that I have kids of my own, it is that much more special!
ReplyDeleteI have read this book to my son since he was only a few days old, and now, ten years later, I still can't make it through this story without my eyes brimming with tears!
ReplyDeleteIt so completely touches a mother's heart, doesn't it?
I LOVE THIS BOOK!
ReplyDeleteI purchased a copy when Prince was 8 years old and we still sit and read it. My teen would kill me if he knew I was saying but he usually ends up snuggling with us too LOL
I've heard about this book from a few people and it sounds lovely, we'll have to borrow it from our library.
