Do books for little children ever make you cry?

[PrettyCandles]

I'm a soft moo - Once There Were Giants sets me off every time.

No Matter What

and

The Bog Baby

and

Peepo

Quentin Blake's 'The Green Ship' used to get dp....

I cried several times while reading 'Clarice Bean Spells Trouble'. Poor Karl Wrenbury.

"I love You Forever" and "Goodbye Mog"

No Matter What and Goodbye Mog both make me "read a bit wobbly" as DD puts it. :o

Dr seuss - Oh the places you'll go.

So sad but so true.

The Christmas Miracle of Jonathon Toomey makes my cry all the way through - its a christmas book, so should only be out in December but ds loves it and I sob through it.

I love Once There Were Giants. I did have a tear in my eye reading it to DS once - the bit where the girl looks out for her mum when she's at preschool? I said to DS "she misses her mummy", and he nodded and pointed at himself as if to say me too :( he's not even 2 yet! I felt guilty cos I work part time

That one about Gilbert the shark. I didnt realise what it was about until too late.

If I was the sort to cry I would at that book.

Mummy loves me. Its a dear little book and I bought it for DS2 when DD was sick and I had to keep leaving him to go into hospital with her. I cant even look at the bloody thing now.

Naughty Kitten. I can still hear my darling DD's little voice saying 'Naughty Kitten' as the punch line to each page when she was tiny

We have a book (Floss?) about an old border collie, makes me sob every time. The children never even notice ...

I love Once There Were Giants.

Ooh, this always gets me, too!

There's one about a Patchwork quilt that has me all wobbly, too!

Actually-I cry at adverts...

The Mousehole Cat brings a tear to my eye...

I love you to the moon and back

I had a tear in my eye at the end of "where the wild things are" the other day

I had a tear in my eye at the end of "where the wild things are" the other day

I love you forever gets me every time - partly because we were going through the reversal of parent/child roles the first time we read it and it brings all those feelings back.

Let's Get A Pup

Danny the champion of the world, at the end, also. Where he says 'what I have been trying to tell you all along is that my father was the most amazing man....'

Once There Were Giants. Gets me everytime.

Love You Forever

Cry like a baby...

I bought it for my mum years ago.. and my children.. made a song of the main, repeated theme, that my older-and oh-so-cynical children still recite..

I could never read the ending of Charlottes Web out loud........
