A young boy wakes up to find that his pet mouse has died. Ages 3-6. Pierce County Library ( )

This is a story about a boy who wakes up to find his pet mouse has died. This book does a great job at addressing the feelings a child would have toward their animal and in general if their pet passes away.

children need to understand what has happened when they loose someone they love, and i think this book does a great job of teaching them, the meaning of death.

I think this book did a good job with showing the following three emotions: denial, anger, and sadness. It also showed the way the little boy starts coping with the death of his mouse as well as having a good support system from his family. I think the author made it easy to understand and relate to for his targeted audience. ( )
