I've got another one called "I Promise I'll Find You," again, don't know the author without getting my butt out of this chair to go check. I don't think I ever did finish that one. I can't open it and read it again, and can't bare to get rid of it. It's a mother telling her child that if was every missing, she would search until she found him no matter what she had to do. She searches from a boat, horse, balloon, everything and everywhere. I think some of the proceeds from the book go to a missing children's fund. I couldn't handle that book, just too much.

I second "The Giving Tree." And really anything by Shel Silverstein.

Also check out the authors Audrey and Don Wood, husband and wife, one writes the other illustrates. Their books are great stories with real insight into how kids think. They are cute and funny, with unbelievable pictures.

I was browsing the book store once and came across a book by the actor/comic Will Smith about a father's love for his child. Don't remember the title on this one, but it was very touching. But I already had my self imposed limit and didn't buy.

I'm a children's book junkie, so I'll probably think of more later.

This is what the back says "Here's everything you'd like to say to your children about how much you love them and most of all how special they are to God. Just In Case You Ever Wonder wraps your children in its warm message of love,comfort,and protection."

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

My aunt read that book to me on the phone a few days ago, she wants to buy a copy for my children. It was the sweetest thing I've ever heard. It made me cry.

If I think of any good ones I will post.

It's a good "Daddy-read" book :-)

Now I do love Robert Munsch's book "The Paper Bag Princess." It's a funny book with a great message. And it's not creepy. :)
