I purchased this for two young friends, boys: 6 and 10
This book was way too immature for the ten year old and even the six year old lost interest in it. I purchased other books on the subject of losing a pet to death that the kids read with more interest.
I would recommend this only for children under five.
Rating: 2 / 5
This was an OK book, but not quite what I expected for the child. There must be other books out there that give a better example and a bit more compassion for the childs feelings in not so straight forward words. It did OK, but wish it had done better.

I bought this to help my 5 year old when we put our cat to sleep, but I never even showed it to her. I was looking for something a little more emotional, and this was more factual. There’s absolutely nothing wrong or inappropriate about it at all. It just wasn’t at all what I was looking for.

I bought this for my five-year-old when our elderly dog died. It’s classic Mr. Rogers — factual, simple, and straightforward. The book talks about all the emotions children may experience after they lose a pet in a very forthright and direct way. I am grateful to Mr. Rogers for creating such a great book.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book did a good job of explaining the facts about losing a pet, but did not touch on the emotional impact of such a loss at all. I read it to my daughter, along with several other books about the loss of a pet. It had it’s place, but I’m glad it wasn’t the only book I read to her. The others did a much better job of dealing with the heartache of losing a pet.
