This week, we’re exploring Love You Forever by Robert Munsch—a classic that beautifully captures the enduring love between a parent and child.
The Summary:
Children's author Robert Munsch wrote a famous book called “Love You Forever.” The story is like a hidden message about how parents always love their children, and shows the cycle of parents taking care of a child and, eventually, the child taking care
When the boy is young, he does things that sometimes annoy his mom, like flushing her watch down the toilet when he's two or refusing to take a bath when he's nine. His mom gets frustrated and even jokes about putting him in a zoo. But when he's asleep, she goes into his room, rocks him, and sings a special song that goes like this: "I’ll love you forever. I’ll like you for always, As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be."
Suggestions for Classroom Use:
This book is a great fit for any class that discusses the periods of human development, such as Introduction to Health Science, Nursing Assisting and Medical Assisting. It is a quick read and we recommend reading it together in class and then discussing what is observed in the different stages of life.
