More About This Book

Overview

An offbeat, yet poignant and heart-warming, story for everyone who has ever owned a pet.

Dill the dog knows his time is up so he packs his case and tells Lily, his owner, that he’s off “up there.” “Can I come too?” asks Lily. “Er… not yet,” replies Dill. While he is waiting for the angels to collect him, Dill explains to Lily what he thinks heaven is like: hundreds of lampposts to pee against, lots of whiffy things to smell and bones everywhere — with meat on them! But Lily completely disagrees, she thinks heaven is quite different. Luckily, they agree to disagree just in time for a fond, and very poignant, last goodbye.

Lily's beloved dog Dill is off to heaven, and as they wait for the angels, Lily and Dill argue about what heaven is like, remember their lives together, and say good-bye.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Although the "D" word is never mentioned ("I'm being collected," Dill the dog tells his owner, Lily, as he packs his suitcase), death is indeed the subject of this quirky, small-format picture book. As in his Jesus' Christmas Party, Allan pairs a puckish text with warm pen-and-wash sketches softened by loose, cartoonlike lines. Dill and Lily, as the title suggests, discuss heaven: she sees it as a sort of candy-and-carnival free-for-all; for Dill, it's full of bones and lampposts and "whiffy things to smell on the ground." A pair of angels come to pick up Dill ("Time," says one), giving Lily and Dill one last chance to embrace. Lily's sense of loss is assuaged when she finds a stray pup; in a sweet twist, she treats him to a dog's version of heaven on earth, with Dill looking down from his cloudtop perch in approval. Allan's lighthearted approach to a subject usually treated with great somberness will likely provoke a wide range of responses, with some applauding his whimsy, others decrying his irreverence and still others questioning the story's emotional truth. What is certain, however, is that opinions about the book will be strong, whether positive or negative. All ages. (Jan.)
Children's Literature
Lily's dog, Dill, is packing for heaven which sparks a debate between them on what their idea of heaven is and whether one deserves to go. While the angel dogs wait patiently, Dill and Lilly give their rendition of what they think heaven is like. After Dill leaves, Lily is sad but soon finds another dog to replace Dill. Minimal cartoon-like drawings are a perfect addition to this charming story about everyone's greatest wonder-what is heaven like. The story could serve as a vehicle for further discussion or for allaying fears in young children.

Kirkus Reviews
Most books about the death of a pet are solemn and carefully worded, but Allan (Jesus' Christmas Party, 1992, etc.) treats the subject in a decidedly different manner.

A little girl who finds her dog, Dill, packing a suitcase asks where he is going. He tells her, "Up there," meaning heaven. Dill—who has the supercilious demeanor of a British butler—and the girl trade imagined descriptions of heaven. She sees it as a place of self-indulgence with no consequences—abundant candy, carnivals, no illness. The dog's heaven includes meaty bones to eat, plentiful lampposts, and piles and piles of "whiffy things," e.g., bones and dog droppings (which are, unfortunately, illustrated). The two friends squabble while angel-dogs give them time to say goodbye; the inevitable sad moments that follow the banter feel superficial and cheap. When a stray puppy comes to live with the girl, she tries to give it a little heaven on earth, but readers may already have gone on to the more congenial version of paradise found in Cynthia Rylant's Dog Heaven
