is Black Beauty Blush

However many times I read it! And also, at several different points in the story!! (Ginger off to the knackers yard, Black Beauty's ruined knees, when James says "why it's our old Black Beauty from Orchard Farm, I'd know that star on his forehead anywhere" etc etc)

I don't even like horses that much Confused

I agree with 'Goodbye Mog', also 'Cool' by Michael Morpurgo.

I once cried at 'The Archers' Podcast.

On a commuter train.

Oh.The.Shame.

Yes, black beauty is sad and beautiful too.

My DDs refuse to read itSad

DD2 would love it, but she point blank refuses.

Won't read mrs Frisby and the rats of Nimh either Angry

Geranium I love Dogger, it was my favourite as a kid, and I read it to the DC as much as I can get away with, but I couldn't read it to DS1 when I was pregnant, as I choked up too much to finish Blush

ThatllDoPig · 28/06/2012 20:04

Have you read Warhorse?

Geranium3 · 28/06/2012 20:02

Dogger by shirley hughes does it for me every time even though i must have read it to the dc hundreds of times!!!!!

Not the only one, but it does the same to me. And I guessed it before I saw the title. Smile
