Love You Forever by Robert Munsch

Ranked #3,224 in Books, Poetry & Writing, #124,303 overall

Love You Forever is a book to cherish!

Most people who read the book Love You Forever never forget it. This story is about love. Love You Forever starts with the love a mother has for her son as he grows. Then the book shows the love a son has for his mother as she grows older. Finally the end of the book shows a dad holding his very new baby daughter and singing to her.

Love You Forever has the power to touch everyone's heart.

If you haven't read this book or even if you have, I encourage you to stay on this page to watch a video of the author, Robert Munsch, singing the most popular verse from this book and listen to the entire story read aloud in a video created by a dad.

Robert Munsch Sings Love You Forever

I always read the words:

I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.


If you can carry a tune, Robert Munsch's version is very nice and might be an option for you.

Will you try Robert Munsch's version?

Robert Munsch

I enjoyed watching Robert Munsch sing the repeated verse in Love You Forever. Of course he had a song in his head when he wrote the words. It was nice to hear his tune. I'm not the best singer, so I'll stick to reading the words.

Some people sing the versions they have heard others sing. Some people come up with their own tune or just read the words like me.

Please share if watching this video will change the way you read this book.

I never sang it - but I sang many, many songs to my children and I read this book to my kids.

eblack88 says:

mellie4 says:

well kinda whisper them. i usually read this book before my children go to bed.

I sing the words, because . . .

jsr54 says:

Sing them because I teach pre-school music and a gifted mother of one of my students wrote out some music for the chorus for me. It is beautiful and always makes the teacher cry!

RenaissanceWoman2010 says:

I sing. It immerses me in the story. I become a part of it.

YayasHome says:

I'm sure I will always sing it, but I will always cry as the love overflows in my heart.

TheLittleCardShop says:

I think I will sing them with the autor's tune

Mickie_G says:

I sing them with my own tune. I have no shame and the words just beg to be sung naturally.

Reading to children is one of my favorite things to do!

Many People Can't Read

World Read Aloud Day

According to LitWorld 793 million people are illiterate. When I think of the joy my family has experienced reading books like Love You Forever, my heart breaks for people who can not read. Being illiterate also limits a person's ability to function in the world.

I encourage you to learn more about LitWorld and find out how you can be involved. World Read Aloud Day is just one way to get involved. Check out this link for activities both big and small to celebrate World Read Aloud Day!

    Here's my Love You Forever story. My wonderful mother-in-law was in the very last stages of cancer. She was at home, and hospice had told us it was time to come and say goodbye. My husband and I and my six year old daughter went to her bedside. My daughter read her Love You Forever. She died later that night.
    Books are scripts. They let us say things to each other we ordinarily might not be able to.

    wow. My children lost a special grandparent recently. I know from experience how hard and important it is to involve children in the grieving process and help them find words for their feelings. It's nice this book was able to help your family find the words and share love. Sorry for your loss.
