The mother sings to her sleeping baby: "I'll love you forever / I'll love you for always / As long as I'm living / My baby you'll be." She still sings the same song when her baby has turned into a fractious 2-year-old, a slovenly 9-year-old, and then a raucous teen. So far so ordinary--but this is one persistent lady. When her son grows up and leaves home, she takes to driving across town with a ladder on the car roof, climbing through her grown son's window, and rocking the sleeping man in the same way. Then, inevitably, the day comes when she's too old and sick to hold him, and the roles are at last reversed. Each stage is illustrated by one of Sheila McGraw's comic and yet poignant pastels. (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr

This book is full of dark symbolism. It is about a mother who sneaks into her little boys room to watch him go through puberty while he sleeps. She sometimes picks him up and sings to him. When he is an adult, we see that he sleeps in a single bed, meaning he never got married. Soon afterwards mom comes and pays a late night visit…she uses a ladder to crawl into his room. Shortly thereafter you see the son with a baby, but no wife, yep mother and son have produced an offspring????
Later, after mother ages quite a bit, we see a strange picture where the son is cradling her next to his breast singing that sinister lullaby.
Very campy stuff!!!

Hi all
When I say it shard to feel what it really means is at the beginning the book is lovely but when it comes to the part of the mom going into her sons bedroom late and this is when hes above adolencence and holding him for one its not greatly thought out about a woman picking up such a heavy person and rocking them in there sleep. But I more of found the pictures a bit uncomfortable to deal with. It was a little creepy I will admit with another reviewer. I enjoyed the beginning and the end. But makes you wonder cause mother did that to him how horribly wrong it would be for that father to be doing the same thing to his daughter at thoes ages. I know its innocent but its a wrong thought.
Remove the middle of mother rocking her son who can be like in his 20′s in bed and later in life you would have a much better book. Or maybe at thoes stages instead of having it rocking them in there sleep maybe sining it on the phone or at the bedroom door would of been much more acceptable in my opinion.
Read the book 2 times to son and put it away. Not a book I feel comfortable reading.

I’m sorry, but this book reaked. I mean I feel that the situations in the book carry motherly love just a little far. Maybe the writting is endearing to some. As for me I found this mother to be “without a life”. It made it seem like all mothers do is live for their children with no independent life of their own. As much as I love my children (boy and girl), I wouldn’t want to think of them as my baby for the rest of my life. I rejoice in sharing their growth and knowledge with the world. Maybe this mom and son live on a secluded island (planet) and neither realizes that there is indeed a real world where children do grow up and parents do lead their own lives. The part where she climbs through the window really made me sick. I asked myself “what’s wrong with this woman?” Then I thought, “Oh I get it. She climbs through the window because her son is so sick of her that he won’t open the door”. My advice to all mother’s, “Get a life so your children will enjoy having one.”

Okay, I admit it–the first time I read this book I teared up, but the emotion didn’t remain in further readings. The mother’s picking up a grown man is improbable and unnecessary to the story and the pictures are crude. The author had a good idea, but somehow it didn’t work for me.

Sorry guys, I just don’t think this book is very good. I’m not sure that I can agree with the “incest” angle that some reviewers have taken, I just didn’t enjoy it. FOr one thing, it’s sappy. It plays on too many stereotypes. AND every woman I know has gotten at least one or two copies at their babyshower. For my money? Buy Owl Babies instead.
