Title: Mama, Do You Love Me?
This book is about a parent's unconditional love. In the book the child tests the limits, and questions whether or not mom still loves her even after all that she's done.
I've read this book to my children many, many, times. They love this book and I think it teaches how a parent's love should always be unconditional.
The following website, lists this book and many others.

Shared Reading - (covered 11/9/09)
If shared reading is done correctly, it can provide children with wonderful experience with books. Shared reading can allow teachers to introduce children to books, and make them want to read books. Most students read because they have to, not because they want to.
I thought it was interesting that most students don't have parents who read to them, so shared reading might be the only time they get to hear stories.
Children also become aware of the mechanics of a book when introduced to it during shared reading, and they are able to learn many reading strategies.
