Let Me Hold You Longer by Karen Kingsbury (2004, Hardcover)

As a Mom, I absolutely love this book! It is a glimpse into children as they grow up from babies to adults. Give this one to your Mom for a birthday or Mother's Day. Honestly, I cannot read it without crying.

This book is one of the best ever. It made me stop and watch my daughter more. It's written for sons, but can easily be thought of with girls. Definitly a box of tissues book. Recommend this book to anyone with kids.

This book is such a sweet story about the growth of a family through the eyes of a mother. Through every stage of development and milestone of this son's life, the mother reflects on the "lasts" of each moment. As a mommy of two, I apprecite the type of neverending love that this books provides. My son LOVES to read this book and I cherish each time that we stroll through the memories of life togther. Enjoy reading this book, it's a GEM!!!!!

I bought this book because a friend has suggested it. Now, I give it away as shower gifts to families expecting boys.

This has become one of my favorite gifts for an expectant mother. Just a sweet way to remind us that it is not always the firsts of childhood that are important, but also the lasts. The last bottle, the last time they sit on your lap, and many others.

Don't miss this book. It will make everyone reading it cry.

A must read for every parent or future parent. We got one as a gift and immediately I bought one to give to someone else. Ms. Kingsbury helps us focus on an aspect of parenting and the transitioning of our children through their ages and stages I had not thought of before.

Grab a tissue, sit down, and read. Then read it to your kids.

Book was brand new in great shape arrived quickly Had heard of this book wanted it looked on ebay found it ordered it very happy to find it

The book came in a very timely manner and was in excellent condition. I bought this book for my daughter and grandson. My daughter liked the book very much.

Great inspirational book; it will bring tears to anyone's eyes......it helps put things in perspective when you are a busy mom who may get frustrated at times....

The message is so true. I bought the book to five to my son. It expressed exactly how I feel as he becomes older.

I bought this book after reading the poem in the book "Rejoice" by Karen Kingsbury with Gary Smalley. In the book, the mother wrote it for her son the day before his wedding. But in this book, she turns it around to the present day, about missing everything we didn't realize where gone. Everyone celebrates the first time their kids do something, but they don't get to celebrate their lasts because they're gone before you know it. I would recommend this book to anyone.

This is an amazing book and i would recommend EVERY parent owning their own copy!!!I am buying it for ever new mom i know and giving it out as a baby shower gift!! It is a definitely MUST HAVE!!!!

I sought my own copy of this book after finding it at the local public library. I had never heard of it before, but as I read it, I fell in love with it and knew I wanted my own copy. So often we concentrate on the "firsts" our little ones accomplish, but seldom do we think of the "lasts", as sometimes we don't know they are about to stop something, or change that sweet behavior we love to watch, as they grow on to the next phase of their development. Great book!

It was in good shape, except no paper cover but that was okay. The price was okay too. i had looked for that book for a long time and could not find it anywere so was very pleased to find one and in such good condition.

The book has very bright pictures and detailed pictures that my kids loved to look at them. We have read the book several times already, they like this book. It rhymes a lot as well.

This is a heart-wrenching book. It makes you want to hold on to your kids longer. It makes you realize that your kids grow up fast. I would recommend this book as a baby shower gift.
