"The Giving Tree" and "I'll Love You Forever" are my faves for the little ones. Sad, but so true. Just try reading either one without tears flowing..It can't be done. All the while the little ones see a different meaning in the stories and wonder what's wrong with daddy/mommy all of a sudden. TIme goes by WAY to fast for us Daddies and Mommies....
I also love "Oh The Places You'll GO"--SUESS at his best..It was also his last book. What a way to go out--WIth his Absolute BEST book!

I don't remember the one about the kitten, but the one about the bird who lost his mother, Ben and Nick loved that one. At the end, I always made a really big deal about the mother bird picking up the baby bird in her arms and twirling around and around with him. I think they liked to contemplate the possibility of being alone, at an aesthetic distance, as it were, and then when it got too scary, having it go away. I got the part about the mother picking up the little bird from the end scene in Paris, Texas - I was watching it on cable late one night, Ben couldn't have been three because we were still in New Orleans. At the end, and it is a very, very, very long movie, Nastasia Kjinski (spelling all wrong, I know) comes back to her house and picks up her kid and twirls around and around with him in her arms. Ben got out of bed just at the end, and saw that part, and it stuck with him. He used to really like it when I did that. He is 5'9", I'll never be able to do that again.
