The Giving Tree is my #1 favorite book ever written. The Fall of the Freddie the Leaf is next. Hope for the Flowers is pretty awesome, too. But I can't get through those without crying

Yes, the Giving Tree can definitely bring up the tears..

I have bought hard copy editions of both Someday and Little Bears Little Boat for my future grandchild.
(they both make me a little teary-eyed)

lol! There are no plans for grandbabies any time soon so my DH says it's just my way to buy more than one copy of a book and feel good about it.
