How can anyone not cry every time they read...

[LoveYouForeverMyBaby]

...love you forever by Robert Munsch, gets me every time!

[BardOfBarking]

Oh I really despise this book. The mum sneaking into her grown son's house? makes me feel physically unwell.

Can you imagine the daughter in law on MN? " AIBU to ask my MiL to stop coming into my bedroom at night to rock my DH...." BLEUGH!

Loads of people love it though

[LoveYouForeverMyBaby]

That's actually made me laugh out loud!! Okay yes in reality it would be a tad creepy(!) but it's just so beautiful....the bit where the mama is dying (sobs)

[NomNomingiaDePlum]

i think this is pretty much the creepiest book in my house. i'd chuck it out, but it's dd's, and a gift.

i have promised dd that i will not stalk her when she grows up.

[YoullLaughAboutItOneDay]

Nope, another one it creeps out.

I do say "I will love you forever" to DD every night before bed though.

I cry at the Velveteen Rabbit.

[nilbyname]

I remember that book!

The one that get me is "Guess how much I love you" with Nut Brown Hare. Oh it is so lovely!

[LoveYouForeverMyBaby]

Awww you're all made of stone lol! I'm teary just thinking about it, the coking back and forth, back and forth....aww(wipes tear away)

[LoveYouForeverMyBaby]

SHOUKD READING ROCKING!!! Not coking(!!!)

[neontetra]

Velveteen Rabbit god yes! Keep trying to read it to dd and can't because of the massive lump in my throat. Absolutely love it though! Sorry to go off topic - have not read the other one.

[Wetthemogwai]

Is that the one Joey reads for Emma's birthday on friends? That's lovely but I've never seen it for sale :( must look on amazon

Dogger gets me every time and it did when I was a kid too!

[YoullLaughAboutItOneDay]

Yup, it is mentioned in friends.

You need to be loved to be real. And it only happens when you are all worn and battered. Sniff, sniff.

[nilbyname]

Dogger! "And Bella did a VERY kind thing", so lovely.

Stick Man gets me!

[LoveYouForeverMyBaby]

Oh dogger! I loved dogger!

[InvisibleHotPinkWeasel]

I tell dh he is my velveteen rabbit and that I loved his fur off (he had hair when we met) , the book makes me properly cry though.

So does That's Not My Cow! By Terry Prathett.

[Bumply]

I can creep ds1 out by reciting "I'll love you forever, I'll love for always..."
He finds the book disturbing, as do I if it wasn't the only winding up weapon I have (he's 14 now, but never liked it since someone gave it him as a toddler)

[2blessed2bstressed]

I love it...well up every time I read it, and cried like an idiot when I was telling my friend about it because she hadn't heard of it!

[Feckbox]

yes, agree!

[AWomanCalledHorse]

Goodbye Mog.

Saw it in Waterstones & the cover was enough to bring on the tears (was very pregnant at the time), have read it since then (not to DS) & am welling up just thinking about it.

[LoveYouForeverMyBaby]

2blessed yes me too!' get emotional thinking about it.

[BikeRunSki]

I went to the funeral of a friend's baby when DS was six weeks old. The baby being cremated was 2 days old. One of the readings was a passage from The Velveteen Rabbit, the part about becoming real. Whenever I have seen the book since, it has brought a tear to my eye. Last year DS chose it from the library. I was 30 wks pg and in floods as we checked it out.

[ripsishere]

this one gets me every time. It only has three words in it FFS.

[NorksAreMessy]

nilby we still use that exact phrase when anyone in our family does something nice.
We loved Dogger totally and utterly

[Lavenderhoney]

Stick man at the end.. And velveteen rabbit. Bambi is banned in our house, book and film:) Black beauty is another.

[Ephiny]

I haven't seen this book, but it sounds horribly sentimental and creepy to me.

Black Beauty though, yes, haven't read it since I was a child but don't dare pick it up. Buckets of tears.

[GirlWithTheMouseyHair]

I love you forever makes me sob and sob!!!

[qo]

I read Charlotte's web when I was 7 and was inconsolable, I bought it for my nieces birthday when I was an adult and was inconsolable all over again - I can't believe someone would write something so heart-achingly sad for a children's book!
