I've just been reading "Can't you sleep, Little Bear" to dd's and I nearly cried! Silly sentimental moment about giving your children the moon!

What innocuous(sp!) children's books have had you blubbing?

oooh yes, pc "because she's my little sister and I'm her big brother..."

There are 2 years ish between ds (2.5) and dd (10 months), and ds is always pointing out to me the things dd does that are like annie rose.

thats going to be the book i cry over when I'm rocking myself to sleep in a nursing home.

Dogger for me too!

Dogger makes me cry (well nearly).

Also was looking at Annie Rose is my little sister and the end of that made me well up.

Oh god, all of them. I can't read "Peepo" without floods of tears. No Matter What is the same. We've got one really innocuous one called "Look out it's the wolf" or something and I cried reading it in the blimming shop! I'm hopeless...

Just remembered the title - it was called 'Nothing'

I bought a Mick Inkpen one about a lost toy, flicked through it before reading to DS and had to put it away because it made me cry .
