A book to use for shared discussion with children who have lost a pet. Sponsored by The Child Bereavement Trust, the book explains the difficulties in accepting the death of a pet, sudden or otherwise, feelings of sadness, guilt and anger, the necessity sometimes of the vet helping a pet to die, the importance of talking to people and sharing memories, coping strategies, and the fact that the child will feel better after awhile and may even be ready for a new pet. Colour photographs and excellent production values.
