You're giving me flashbacks to reading The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe to DD6 (she could read, but not at that level yet). I carefully engineered it so that Aslan's death occurred on a Saturday afternoon, not at bedtime. I was right; there was an epic storm. She clearly couldn't understand why I was insisting on continuing to read while her world was falling down around her ears, either. But [spoiler alert] she was very happy a few pages later when we got to his resurrection.
She's better about bad stuff happening in books, now. But her 5-year-old brother is definitely not ready yet. (We had to stop watching The Lorax partway through with him because it was too scary.)
