Mine cried when the little boy in “The Giving Tree” took the tree’s branches, and had me re-read the first few pages where he plays with the tree multiple times instead of finishing the book.

Yeah, that book is brutal. I never read it to my kids, didn’t dig the message of “give of yourself, even unto your eventual death, because you like someone - whether or not they seem to appreciate you!” I do like Uncle Shelby’s ABZ Book though!
My kids made plans with their friends, left the house for a while, and let me get in some alone time for playing retro remakes on the PS5.
