We have just had a presentation at uni about introducing death to kids & been shown this book. I thought it was brilliant- it covers a wide range of situations from prem babies to accidents & getting old. it explains the difference between being alive & dead. A really useful way of talking to kids about death, not too heavy & even covers the fateful death of the hamster!Perfect for kids and parents!- By: , 23 Jun 1998 Comprehensive, subtle, even humorous, explores many aspects of dying & associated situations. Helps kids ask questions, & parents answer them. A great book for home library!
