The Steadfast Tin Soldier by Hans Christian Andersen -- You know folks though I love it but I don't want her to read such stories -- tearjerkers -- I'd urge her to read something funny instead. For instance: Paul Jennings' Thirteen Unpredictable Tales -- Paul's stories are funny, weird and wacky with surprising endings -- Any type of fiction with multiple endings -- The Lady, or the Tiger? by Frank R. Stockton -- Or epistolary novels like Daddy-Long-Legs -- That's my favorite -- I love writing letters to her; and I want her to write back to me.
