Top critical review
2.0 out of 5 starsNot what I expected
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2008
I ordered this book based on the fantastic reviews, but it was not what I expected, and I returned it. I was looking for a book for a young boy (4)who recently lost his father to Leukemia. This book might be good for young children who are very angry and going through the extreme emotions that can happen with a loss like this, but the boy I wanted to give this to is not having such extreme emotions. He is sad, as can be expected, and misses his Dad, but he's not acting out in anger or "mad at the world", as the boy in this book. Maybe this would be better suited to someone who had more of a sudden loss, and isn't coping well emotionally. It just wasn't right for the situation in my case. Overall, I felt it was too negative, and just not the right choice for someone who is already coping with a loss in a healthy way.
