50 Below Zero by Robert Munsch

{my thoughts} - This is a short little book, that is meant to be funny. It is a child's book about a little boy that wakes up throughout the night and discovers his father in odd places. In other words his father is sleep walking. The child wakes his father up periodically and then goes back to bed himself.

{reason for reading} - It was a free download through netgalley.

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch

Since becoming a mom, this book has been my favorite. I love it because I am connected to it. I am a mom to one child, my son, Logan James. This is just a sweet and loving story about unconditional love. Even though my son is a 6 foot, 6 inches 19-year-old teddy bear---- he will always be my baby,

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch

Early Elementary School
Story follows a young child through their life and we experience all of the times that they mess up and all of their triumphs where each time their mother says that they love them!
A good heartwarming story that shows us that love is unconditional.
