About this title

Synopsis

Are there kids in your life who could use some comfort after losing a beloved pet? This book will offer the gentle reassurance that is needed when a pet dies. Younger children who lose their puppy, kitten, or other pet are introduced to the idea of death. They are encouraged to understand that sadness is a first important step in the process of emotional healing, after the death of a loved one.

Parents, teachers, and gift givers will find:

• language that is simple, direct, and easier for younger children to understand
• information on how to cope with the loss of a beloved pet
• a helpful book written by a psychotherapist and counselor
• a whole series of books for children to explore emotional issues

The A First Look At series promotes positive interaction among children, parents, and teachers, and encourage kids to ask questions and confront social and emotional questions that sometimes present problems. Books feature appealing full-color illustrations on every page plus a page of advice to parents and teachers.
