After his dog Bodger is hit by a truck and killed, Christopher must deal with his feelings of depression and guilt. "The subdued illustrations -- their details warmed by washes of golds, browns and tans -- are realistic and feeling. An honest look at grief with no tidy answers." -- School Library Journal IRA/CBC Children's Choice

Dealing with death is never easy.,
By acg@inetnebr.com (Nebraska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Accident (Turtleback)
And it's even worse when you may have had some part in causing it. The main character (a young boy) takes his beloved dog out for a walk in the country. The dog is hit and killed by a car. How will the main character deal with his beloved dog's death? How will he overcome his own guilt in the matter? While this book could have taken a firmer stance against allowing dogs to run unrestrained, it is still a touching story that literally moved this dog-lover to tears. This story would be a great way to broach the subject of death with a young person.
