Reflection: This has always been one of my favorite books and my mom has read it to me since I was a little girl. This is a story that will never grow old or fade away because it is special to so many people. I love the repetition of the words and it makes it easy for children to read along with their parents before bed. The pictures are very cute that go along with the sincere and touching words. The wrap around to the end it was gets me...when he begins saying the same lines back to his mother.
