This review is from: Thumpy's Story: A Story of Love & Grief Shared by Thumpy the Bunny (Paperback)

I recently suffered the death of my 3rd baby boy, Tanner Jason. He was a full term baby, born into the arms of angels on September 30, 1999. (stillborn) My other 2 boys are ages 5 and 2. They were very anxiously awaiting the arrival of their new baby brother. It was the saddest moment of my life when I told them that their brother had died and would not be coming home with us. It is so hard to explain to death to small children. Thumpy's Story is the story of a bunny family who experiences the loss of one of the 3 child bunnies. It details every aspect of the death on a child's level...such as death is when breath and movement stop. The story is written from Thumpy's perspective and talks of how his parents were sad and how he and his brother handled the loss of their sister. It even delves into burial. My 5 year old son asked me to read it and reread it many times. He could really relate to Thumpy. I am so glad I have found this book for him. It is THE BEST children's book on this topic I have found.
