It's a beautiful book and it helped both me and my children when our dog had to be put down. It's precious and it's helpful. You know you're not alone when you read Rafferty.

The scrapbook is a really neat feature. The commentary on pages 10 and 11 called "For this important time" which states things like sending a note to school and things like that when the pet dies is also very well written.
The mom's story about the cat dying "in her sleep" bothered me (and contradicted text about not using sleep references on pages 10 and 11). Miss Bertie discusses how someone poisoned her dog when she was 15 and she talked about an old dog who died and then the very old (90)owner died the next day. I think those items could be a little confusing to a young child. As I said though, the epilogue and the scrapbook are WONDERFUL.
