I, or rather my husband, recieved this book from his mother to read to our new baby daughter. She told him that this was her favorite book to read to him growing up. I read this book and found it to be very disturbing. The mother creeping into the house and crawling through the window and across the floor to rock her grown son in his sleep. He obviously has a wife because he then has a daughter. How would his wife feel about this?? This is not a good story to read to your child. I would find it very unnerving if my mom wanted to read this to me. It is great to love your child unconditionally but not to stalk them!!
