Rating:  Summary: Excellent book for families with children or just adults! Review: This book was recommended to me when my father passed away a year ago and since then I have given several copies to others who needed the comfort too. It is not just a book for children. Adults can be helped by the simple story. The illustrations are fantastic and I loved the dog since I have one of my own. I would also recommend it to someone who has recently lost a pet.
Rating:  Summary: Great Review: This is a wonderful book, with beautiful illistrations and a very poiginant story
Rating:  Summary: My Favorite Book for Anyone with a Loss Review: Written in a children's book format - with simply worded concepts, wonderfully colored pictures, and a creative idea - this is one of those great books that actually feels written for adults as much as for school-age children.I've used lots of books on grief in 30 years of practicing psychotherapy. And this is the best! It's written in a way that gives the grieving mind and exhausted spirit a quick, hands-on idea of what's happening, and it gives fabulous permission to every reader to absolutely do your grief "your way." I've given out perhaps 25 copies. Some come back. Others set out on a journey of their own. And I love that they do. I feel like "the Lupine Lady" (reference to another children's book.) I'd like to thank the authors, if they ever read their reviewers, for a heart-felt gift to us.
