My five year old picked this out at the library. I know why he did-the cover depicts a sweet, round faced boy peering lovingly at an adorable mouse.
Yet when we read it, I was in for a surprise!!! The book begins with the little boy discovering that his pet mouse has died over night. The rest of the book describes the little boy's grieving process.
Great book to use when a pet has died.
