It not only creeped me out, it made me not like that person very much, because, well, JEEZ!<BR/><BR/>("The Paper Bag Princess," however, I find utterly charming.)Velmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425566563311066790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-13944893142979097372007-05-13T15:47:00.000-04:002007-05-13T15:47:00.000-04:00What anatidaeling said.

I understand he meant Love You Forever to be kind of ironical, humorous, intentionally over the top. Those who recommend it as a tender story of undying maternal devotion are generally irony-impaired. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I gotta tell you, I really liked An Egg On Three Sticks. I read it when it first came out and I predicted it was going to be a big, critically acclaimed, prize winning book.

YE...Weeding is essential to any library collection. <BR/><BR/>YES I STILL WANT THE BUS BOOK.<BR/><BR/>I've met Robert Muncsch (author of LYF) and he's a very non-creepy person. I can see how the book can be seen as creepy, but I think HE meant it to be cute. Check out his other awesome books, such as the Paper Bag Princess. <BR/><BR/>That said, everyone has different book tastes--that's why there are so many!!Sarah Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251034210962259082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-63972826350995404142007-05-12T14:45:00.000-04:002007-05-12T14:45:00.000-04:00Everyone who gave Love You Forever to us told us i...Everyone who gave Love You Forever to us told us it was their 'favorite' childrens book.

I thought that was preferable to my simply throwing them out. I figured there were some more FUNdamentally religious people out there who would really appreciate these books. I just could not relate to them myself, and they were banned from my homeschool Sunday school class.deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637032772160291752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-74827173255605676392007-05-12T12:43:00.000-04:002007-05-12T12:43:00.000-04:00I've always thought Love You Forever is a creepy b...I've always thought Love You Forever is a creepy book.
