My. God. I can't believe I am crying and laughing at the same time, just because I've read both I'll Love You Forever and The Velevteen Rabbit to my kids, sobbed my eyes out (in the public library no less) and now they are too damn old for me to read those books to them. What a wonderful tributes to books with The Big Sad in them. Oh, and don't forget the last chapter of A.A. Milne's House at Pooh Corner.

Its author is in a class by herself. Those you list made me leak a bit, whereas TEOA had me in the fetal position (and keep in mind I am a rough-and-tumble man's man type, with a beard).
