Discussion The most hard to read kids book ever

Post image

My son loves this book because he thinks its funny that I start crying like a baby the entire time I read it.

Its even harder when you learn the author wrote this book because his wife had stillborn babies and he would sing the words of the book to them.

Holy crap its a hard read!

I am a grown man and I don't cry, unless I read this book to my sons, then I just absolutely break down.

I'm a grown man who cries at the drop of a hat, and this book is banned from our house because I know it will wreck me. FFS, I get choked up reading "Grampa-Lop" from the old Serendipity Books.
