Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Because the life cycle of animals is so short, it's usually the first death a child experiences. Fortunately, there are good children's books to help in many difficult situations. This book works better than any other book on the subject. It is the story of a small boy who is trying to understand and recover from his cat's death. The author is honest and authentic in her approach.

    A warm and wonderful book

    I purchased this book shortly after we had a very beloved cat euthanized. It is a very loving story, sensitively handled about death and the on-going circle of life. It helps young children get a grasp on the finality of death and the importance of riutals and family support.

    Great book for all children

    I think this is a wonderful book. I have a 4 year old, who's Dr. passed away. Since then she had been asking me questions about death. So I bought the book ( a coworker told me about it). It was great at explaining what I couldn't. I recommend this book for children of all ages!

    The title could be more inviting and explain the content better.

    This book carefully portrays a child's feelings about the death of his cat. It is a wonderful book to help teach a child about the concept of death. I highly recommend it.
