I Forgot to Say I Love You - Miriam Moss

I forgot to say I love you is a book lent to my son from a friend's seven year old who sorted out some books that he loved at my son's age who is two and a half. So I already knew that this would be a good book but whether it caught my sons imagination was another matter that only reading to him would conclude.

This is one of my favourite children's books. The story is very simple but is beautifully written and illustrated. I think this book is popular with children as well as adults because of the fact that the story is universal and recognisable to all. The book tells the story of Billy and his Mum.

I was on bedtime duty tonight as my daughter had some work experience to deal with at the hospital and the wife was off doing her avon bits. I don't normally go for soppy bedtime stories but my four year old grandson insisted this was the one he wanted me to read tonight as I tucked him up in bed.

When Billy gets to nursery, he starts crying when he realises that ...  Read the complete review
