There's this one chapter which I can barely read out lot to my dc's because I'm trying so much. Do you have any of those?

It's a book by Astrid Lindgren (I think it's called Emil in English) and this little boy through some superhuman efforts manages to save his parents' servant's life. I read it to my dd1 a few months ago and was sobbing all the way through it, tonight I read it to dd2 and did it again.

I've never read it out loud but cried my eyes out at Watership Down.

Don't know the book, but I am the same when reading a book called 'Let's get a Pup' to the dds
