Helped explain our dog's passing July 9, 2008
This book was very appropriate for my 4 year old, colorful pictures, easy to understand ideas about what dog heaven is like. Very positive, but mentions that the dog will miss you and you will miss him, but he is having fun and will always love the child. It had me in tears and it allowed my son to be able to ask more specific questions after reading the book so he was able to understand the loss better. It helped us explain a hard to understand event in a young child's life, thank you!
Good for anyone who has lost a friend July 6, 2008
As an adult a bookstore clerk offered me this book when my dog died, it helped me so much I've often given it as a gift to friends who have lost their animals.
 How do you explain Angel Children? June 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this book to help my 4.5 year old grieve for our 17 year old lab who died a couple of weeks ago. The illustrations are beautiful and the tone is soothing; but, I found myself at an uncomfortable loss to explain where the angel children came from--my daughter wanted to know if they were there because they had died too. This is was much more than I thought needed to be explained at this point. Our family is spiritual but not religious and haven't had long discussions with our daughter about God, other than to explain the existence of different religions and the need for understanding and tolerance of all beliefs. Had I known that God was going to be such a centerpiece of the story, I probably would not have purchased the book. I think for the right family, it is a wonderful story. Unfortunately, it didn't work for us.
We also read Forever Dog which was recommended by my daughter's school and it was perfect for our needs.
Great gift May 26, 2008
I keep two copies of this book on hand at all times. It is the perfect gift for any dog lover when a favorite pet dies. It is appropriate for adults and children alike.
More than a good book, a beautiful story for any child who has lost a dog May 23, 2008
We were given this when our dog died. It made the tragedy of losing our dog a little easier. Our kids' sadness goes away when they think that "Shane" is now in "Dog Heaven" chasing ducks and running and splashing with his dog buddies. Thank you Cynthia Rylant. This is a fun and beautiful book. Great for ages 1-8.
