one sentence summary:
The love between mother and child is unbreakable, sometimes to the point of being a bit creepy.
review:
Through rhyme and rhythm Munsch expresses the undying love between a mother and her baby, even when he grows into a man, and the love he returns to her. I loved this book when I was little and it is one of few I recall my mom reading out loud to me (my dad read a lot out loud to me but mom was always tired, and had two other kids). If you think about it too hard it will probably creep you out a bit, so don't do that, just read it as a sweet happy story. Everyone should read it (and possibly memorize it from reading it far to many times to your children)
10/10

"I love you forever
I like you for always
As long as I am living
My baby you will be"
