Harry's Mad, the Sheep-Pig, Queen's Nose etc.
Woof is good too. And Roald Dahl of course...

yes you must lose the book, immediately.
try the Care Bears. no-one ever dies, I promise.

ds chose a book from the library called HUG.

It's about a little monkey baby that goes around the jungle watching all the other animals getting hugs from their mums.

Baby monkey goes up to them all and says "hug?" and they all shun him.

Then he finds his mother and she shouts "HUG" and he runs into her arms.

gets me every time

I can't remember, I think the horse was alive, but had to watch the bridge or something, it was my favourite book, but my saddest too.

DD and I are just reading Cricket in Times Square by somebody Selden. Very good. About animals. Not a bit tear-making. Ditto Rosemary Mannings Green Smoke and Dragon in Danger.

I'm named after that spider. I am named after a dead spider.

I HATE Bridge to Terabithia, dd has it on dvd, it makes me feel actually sick when the kids are all rocking out with the teacher with their tambourines. dd2 calls it Terry Biffians.

Didn't the horse's head talk to the heroine who was walking under the bridge ?

My DD, who is mostly allergic to reading, found it in our gite last summer and read it in 3 days. She utterly loved it, sobby bit and all.

Let him read it. Will be good for his emotional development. Getting in touch with his feminine side, and all that.

my dd is a big girl's blouse and she LOVES Charlotte's Web

fear not

they get over it

Don't ever accidentally buy Goodbye, Mog. I cannot now enjoy any of the other Mog books knowing Mog is actually brown bread.

Yes!
It did.

You want that poster named Cod. She'll be on here soon with a comment like "oh fgs get over it" soon enough, I bet.

or

oh frog odss kea egt ovve rit

My DD wept buckets at this too, I find pinching the bit of skin between thumb and palm helps stave off the tears.

Also Born to Run (M. Morpugo for those that only do old books) sob, sob.

Heve bought her DVD of Watership Down for Easter as I know I couldn't read that without breaking down.

I prefer the olde books - though dd and I like Clarice Bean. We especially like Milly, Molly, Mandy and you can't get older than that - there was a whole chapter dedicated to the arrival of the first car in the village.

They read the Brother Bottom books and the fastest dog and spy dog and how to be a viking and all that oh so hilarious stuff.

Though ds1 has started reading horror stories

I have just remembered a probably completely dreadful book called Shadow the Sheepdog, possibly by Enid Blyton. Chapter 7 was called Bad Days on the Farm. Shadow gets tangled in barbed wire and blinded. I always sobbed at that bit when I read the book as a child.

Oh no, now Watership down is too too sad. My dh cries at that .

In my defence she did ask, I'm not just randomly reducing my DD to tears.

I gave ds2 Spy Dog on your recommendation in his stocking. He LOVED it. I made him laugh and laugh and he kept reading bits out, and stopping because he was laughing so much.

lol.

I think he tried to read that out, and couldn't get the words out. That is funny. He is reading Buried Alive at the minute, he likes that too.

DS1 is reading 'Horowitz Horror.' It is very gruesome. And he likes those Cherub books - a bit teenagery. I find it unnerving. I am going to pin him down and read him MMM

Hmm, not sure that forgives you tbh.....on dodgy ground......
.

My dog killed the next door neighbours rabbit. My dd's were in the house and know all about it . I have no leg to stand on regarding Watership Down. DD1 just said 'Don't cry Mummy, they have another one...' so maybe we underestimate them .
