I too received this book as a gift to share with my child. I cannot stand the whole premise of this book. Do you think children are comforted by the idea of someone (even mom) entering their bedroom (or house) while they're asleep?
If you want a book about undying love and generations passing down a family song - keep searching.
Creepy. Very creepy. No stars whatsoever.

This book has a special place in my heart. My mom used to read it to me every night before bed. This book tells a very important message about how strong the love between a mother and her child truly is. That bond can never be broken, not even by death.

This is another one of my favorite children's books. I remember my mom stroking a hand through my hair and reading this to me over and over again. It's really just a sweet story and one that all parents can identify with. A great gift for young children or to-be parents. Recommended!

Themes of lifespan, love, unconditional love. It's sweet, and the repetitive song would be good in a read aloud. BUT. It's creepy. The mother rocking her teen and adult son to sleep? Creepy. Breaking in? Boundary issues! Can't say that I loved it.

This book could really use some updated illustrations and for the mom not to be crawling around like a creeper all the time, but the idea is sweet and both my kids (4 and 3) totally, totally love it.

Partner got me this book as sort of a joke, since we're big Friends fans and it shows up in one of the episodes. We had no idea it was a real book, as we never read it as children. Sweet book, and allegorically it's great, but does come across as sort of creepy. Don't feel like rating this one.
