This was my very favorite book when I was three: the one I insisted on being read to me every night, over and over. I have no real memory of the plot, except that the little girl was naughty in refusing to go to bed, until (SPOILER ALERT!) her mom gives her a night cap with hand-shaped flaps to cover her ears, to keep the noise out. The book comes with a night cap (which we lost instantly) and I'm actually tempted to buy it just to see it again.

I bought this book for my wife very early in our marriage. The poems in it are not great literature, but they are sweet. I think I bought it because I liked the title and, as renters, we still had to go to a laundromat to do our washing, and I never felt more married than when I had to sit in a public laundromat and wait for our stuff to wash and dry. Lois Wyse was a very successful business executive who, with her husband, ran an ad agency. She died in 2007, but she coined this slogan, which goes on and on: "With a name like Smucker's, it has to be good."

LOVE POEMS FOR THE VERY MARRIED came out in 1967, the year we were married. Yup. Fifty years ago. If I felt so "very married" then, imagine how I feel now. But we're still here, still together - very married. For which I am thankful every day. Thanks for your words, Lois, and R.I.P., knowing your words mattered, and not just to Smucker's. (Five stars for its sentimental value)

Fairly good.
Noted during my 1980's attempt to read every book in my small town library.

I am looking forward to being a grandmother and "Funny people say I don't look old enough to be one!"
