Reviews
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] There are certain books about a parent's unconditional love for a child that are timeless--and this is one of them.-- "Baltimore's Child" (1/20/2010 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] Robert Munsch's beloved tale is gentle affirmation of the love a parent feels for her child -- forever. Nurtured by the unconditional love of his parent, a boy grows happily through the stages of childhood to become, in turn, a loving adult.-- "BookPage" (1/4/2008 12:00:00 AM)
[Earlier edition and format: ] This best-selling classic of a parent's enduring love is available in a gift edition: slipcased with a laminated box and a clothbound book.-- "BookPage" (11/1/2006 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] The one book that has the most meaning to me.--David Maloof "Boston Globe" (9/15/2002 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] Sentimental story that has long been a favorite gift at baby showers.--Karen T.Bilton "Bridgewater Courier News" (4/26/2005 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] The best of Munsch's many storybooks... it'll give you a new song to sing... and maybe a bit of perspective down the road.--Leanne Dohy "Calgary Herald" (9/25/2003 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] This book is beyond emotional. I dare any mother out there, or any child with an aging parent, to read this story and not have a lump in your throat... Should definitely be apart of your child's book collection.-- "community.cafelibri.com" (7/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] One of my all-time favorites. I cry every time I read it.... [The book] is a beautiful script about parenthood, a poignant parable about life and death, a testimony to when the roles of child and parent become blurry. The story reminds you that no matter how grown up you are, you're always someone's child; that no matter how "adult" you are, you're never too old to be loved by your parents. It makes me appreciate even more how my mother still calls me and my brother (despite us being 32- and 22-years-old, respectively) by our childhood nicknames, Pussycat and Tchotchke (Yiddish for "knickknack"). Pigeonholing this as a children's book is like saying "Romeo & Juliet" is merely a cautionary tale about drug abuse. I dare anyone to read this story and not shed at least one tear by the end. It's even more poignant when you learn that Munsch wrote the book as a memorial to two still-born children he and his wife had in 1979 and 1980.--Dana Lenetz "Forbes" (4/20/2010 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] A humorous, sentimental page-turner that rarely -- let's say never -- leaves a reader with a dry eye.--Gayle MacDonald "Globe and Mail" (12/1/2005 12:00:00 AM)
[Earlier edition and format.] #5 on Instructor's "Teachers Pick the Top 50 Kids Books Ever", chosen by 200 teachers, authors, and children's literature experts.-- "Instructor" (11/1/2006 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] My children and I enjoyed it, night after night, for years... It is a charmer. The simple story touches the heart.--Jeith L. Runyon "Louisville Courier-Journal" (11/13/2005 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] No one can read this without the tears falling.--Sharon Owen "Madera Tribune" (5/8/2003 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] There is a powerful, age-old resonance to the story, centered on that intangible, steadfast bond between mother and child.--Shelley Fralic "National Post" (5/15/2006 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] The starting point for a first-rate library for your grandchildren... a tender ode to the life cycle of a family.--John Lownsbrough "Outlook Magazine" (6/1/2004 12:00:00 AM)
[Review of earlier edition and format: ] Our No. 1 Favorite, 50 Great Children's Books--Susan Belkapp, Maggie Beidelman and Craig Reem "OC Family" (9/1/2007 12:00:00 AM)
Recommended.--Dave Jenkins "Canadian Review of Materials" (1/5/2018 12:00:00 AM)
Good children's book showing a mother's enduring love for her son. Several pop-ups and pull tabs make a nice addition to this edition.--Glenn Perrett "Metroland Media" (9/7/2017 12:00:00 AM)
Originally published in 1986, this Robert Munsch classic has not lost its appeal. It is now available in a new pop-up edition which will make a great gift for the new babies of the 21st century... In this new edition we have wonderful double-page spreads and gatefolds with features that enable a rocking motion each time the chorus is repeated. The paper engineering by Bruce Foster is exemplary and little fingers will be delighted with the pop-ups and the motion.--Victoria Pennell "Resource Links" (12/1/2016 12:00:00 AM)
