15 Perfect Bedtime Stories For Kids to Add to Your Nightly Routine

"Love You Forever" ($5)

Children grow, and no day is perfect, no matter what the 'Gram tells us. As kids push boundaries, they may try our patience as parents. But this book by Robert Munsch, published in 1986, takes readers through a lifetime of heartfelt lullabies from a mother who loves her son, even when she doesn't like what he's doing. The book begins with a mother softly singing to her newborn son, "I'll love you forever/I'll like you for always/As long as I'm living/My baby you'll be." As for the ending, fair warning: Have some tissues handy — it'll get you every time.
