Brief Summary: A pet . . . a friend . . . or a relative dies, and it must be explained to a child. This sensitive book is a useful tool in explaining to children that death is a part of life and that, eventually, all living things reach the end of their own special lifetimes.

Personal Comments/Biases, and/or Things to Consider When Using This Book With Children: Good for kids who are really into nature; not so good for kids who have limited exposure to nature and are unfamiliar with the animals in the story.
