This review is from: Remembering Pets (Hardcover)

Gina Dalpra-Berman's vivid children's picturebook, Remembering Pets, is written specifically for young people who have lost a treasured animal companion. It is about remembering the joys shared with a favorite bird, dog, cat, turtle, or other creature that bestowed unconditional love upon its owner. Remembering Pets tells a young person that it is OK to grieve for the loss of a beloved animal, and to embrace the joys of a new pet. Highly recommended for any child who has outlived his or her cherished animal friend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Help in dealing with the loss of a pet, July 17, 2001

This review is from: Remembering Pets (Hardcover)

Most of us have lost a pet, many of us at a time when we shared that loss with children. The text and illustrations of this book can help children deal with that situation. The book is honest and comforting, helping kids to think about how important their pet was, but also the value in having had that pet, and how those memories can continue to enrich our lives.

Written with wit and whimsically illustrated, this light-hearted look at a serious topic softened the blow of our pet's death. Now, we are even thinking of getting a new pet.
