What can I say? LOL!! I know these books are probably not the best pick as a good read to review since it is rather obvious what they are about and what they are designed for but I must point out that there are a lot of these Chicken Soup books and I think it comes down to which one to pick to read. In May, I read Chicken Soup for the Mother and Son Soul, and in June, I read Chicken Soup for the Mother and Daughter Soul, both by Jack Canfield et al.
I used to read these books just for something to read and read them when I was much younger because I liked the stories of romance and love and do-gooders. Now that I am a mom, I came across the ones for moms but these two especially caught my interest. I was interested in that bond between children and their mothers, especially the ones with sons because they tend to identify more with dads, so I was curious. I love my children deeply and I know that my bond with my daughter is cemented because I am a girl and I can pass on my girl experiences to her and to a huge extent, I know what to expect. However, my bond with my son is one I cherish precisely because of what I don’t know because I am not a boy. So I admit that the book on sons was a bit more fascinating.
The stories are short, sweet, and to the point. I love how they really explore the fragile, unbreakable, mysterious thread between a mother and her children without spelling it out, rather, letting the stories speak for themselves. Of course, there were stories that I couldn’t identify with such as the ones about the military or those away at college since my children are still so young but all of them have one thing in common: a deep, unconditional love that continuously brought tears to my eyes.
If you are in-between books and want to read something light, these or other Chicken Soup books are highly recommended.
For my son
For my daughter
Precisely how have you figure all of this out relating to this topic? I enjoyed scanning this, Ill must visit other pages on your own site straight away.
Have you ever thought about writing an e-book or guest authoring on other websites?
