5 out of 5 stars A must have for every Vet Practice   February 11, 2007

This is an excellent book to give to famalies that have just lost a pet and have young children in the family. It helps the Mother &/or Father explain to the younger members why the circle of life happens. It helps to explain the pain, the anger and then healing. I think that it also helps the parents too - it builds a foundation of communication and trust. I highly recommend this publication.

I purchased this book because both my dogs are getting quite old, and both have had mini-strokes in the past few months. I have two small grandchildren and I know when the time comes they will be upset and confused. They don't have any pets of their own yet so they have no experience of death or loss. This book it very informative and gentle and I believe will help me to help them understand.

The gentle style of Fred Rogers is continued in this book for young children who need help expressing grief over the death of a loved pet. My little one sobbed through the story but asked me to read it again and again as it guided for release of anger, sadness and loss. In the book, it mentions that someday you maybe ready to have a new pet, this was also a source of comfort and my child has already expressed a desire to do so. Our family found this book to be a gentle and kind way that helped us through a difficult time.

Mr. Rogers is the best at dealing with real life situations: honest, caring, comforting.


5 out of 5 stars Best book I have found on death of pet   July 21, 2010
lilydiva (Silver Spring, Maryland)
I bought this for my five-year-old when our elderly dog died. It's classic Mr. Rogers -- factual, simple, and straightforward. The book talks about all the emotions children may experience after they lose a pet in a very forthright and direct way. I am grateful to Mr. Rogers for creating such a great book.
