5.0 out of 5 stars Summary of this book., July 18, 2001

By 

Karen Park-Spratley (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Losing Uncle Tim (Hardcover)

This book is about a boy and his uncle. The boy really likes his uncle. His uncle owns a store. The boy likes a bear at the store. One day after a visit to Uncle Tim's house he found out that Uncle Tim had Aids. When the boy went to Uncle Tim's house, one of his friends had to walk him to the bathroom. Uncle Tim died. The boy was really upset. The boy got a lot of the stuff from the store and that helped him to remember Uncle Tim. I feel sad that Uncle Tim died. There should be a cure for Aids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for explaining terminal illness to Children, February 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Losing Uncle Tim (Hardcover)

This book offers a realistic, kind explanation of terminal illness in a manner that children over age 4.5 can understand. It deals with a death from AIDS. Don't let this dissuade you, we used it to explain terminal cancer. It also addresses being angry as part of the grief process.
