When my daughter was very young we read many Judith Viorst books from our local library. One day we borrowed this one without realizing what the topic was. At the time we had 3 cats at home and it happened that one did die a few months after that. We re-read this book many times. It was so helpful and comforting when that sad time came. I can't tell you how many times I have recommended it to families with young children, the copy I bought in 2012 is waiting for my grandson when the need arises. Any family with pets needs to be prepared to help them cope with the death of their beloved companions.
I love Juith Viorst's funny books, about the frustrations of being a kid. But I treasure this one, about death.A beloved cat dies, and it's sad. The viewpoint character is a little kid, and it is tough for the kid to understand how to handle grief (I am honestly not sure about the gender of the child, nor does it matter). Mom suggests that the kid make a list of all the things that made Barney the cat special. Both parents are clear that it's ok to be sad, that the loss is real and that they are grieving, too.The kid and a friend bandy around ideas about what happens when a cat dies, and Dad rejects the idea that anyone knows what happens to the soul, but we do know what happens to the body.A lot of reviews I've seen are very negative about the "areligious" aspect of talking about decomposition, and not Heaven, but I think it is a comfort, at least it was for the very tangible minds of my young children.We don't know what happens to the soul, if any, after death, but we are pretty clear on what happens to bodies. This is a book about the acceptability of grief, and the consolation of good coming from hard things.
Well written story. Contrary to what another reviewer said, I believe that it can be used to talk with children about death & dying for people as well as pets. We used it for the children's time in both of our churches. It's very honest in its admission that we don't know too much about what heaven is like & doesn't answer whether our beloved pets are in heaven or not. We used it as an occasion to talk about two things. First, that while the loss of a pet may seem like a small thing to many, nothing is too small for us to grieve. Second, that as much as we might love those whom we have lost, we can be assured that God loves them even more & that we can trust them into God's care.
We recently lost our family pet. Before we put him down, we got this book for our girls after a recommendation from a friend. We read it with them and it allowed us the opportunity to gently approach the subject of his inevitable passing in a way that they could understand and cope with. After reading it, they made their own list of "The Ten Good Things About Peyton". We read them as a family and cried about losing him, but we wouldn't have done that without this wonderful book. If your child is losing or has lost a pet, this is the book they should have!
Someone gave me this book when I was 10 yrs old and we lost our family dog. Last week, we had to put down our dog that we've had for 12+ yrs and while I still have my copy of this book, I couldn't find it so I was thrilled to find that it's still available. I think it's really well written and it balances the concept of grief (allowing tears, feeling sad) with focusing on the good things about the lost pet to help nurture positive memories. I'm very glad this book is still available as I still have very fond (for lack of a better word) memories of reading this book as a child and having it help me through my first experience with death.
The most sweetest book I have ever read about losing a pet/animal. I lost my big Main Coon cat in a fire & never got to say 'good-bye'. This story gave me comfort & an idea on how to honor my Minnie! A must have book for any child or adult who's lost a pet!!! Great price & fast delivery :)
The little boy who is the narrator of this book has just had his pet cat Barney die. He can only think of nine good things about Barney, until the day after the funeral, when he spends the day in the garden with his father. The plot is extremely simple and spare, but the book depicts grief very well, and so we understand just how broken-hearted the little boy is, and how much he loved his cat. The Tenth Good Thing About Barney is an excellent springboard for families of every religious persuasion (including agnostics and atheists) to discuss what they feel happens after we die. The book helps children put into words many questions that they might be too young to articulate, and helps parents answer them for him as best you can. The writing is excellent, and perfectly captures the voice of a young boy, and the illustrations are elegant. It's a classic book, and belongs in every library.
A lovely book for young children to process the death of a pet by honoring their memory. I recall reading a review that mentioned they didn't like the image at the end (spoiler alert: the tenth good thing is the buried animal helps new life grow) but to me that's a perfect way to take comfort in the cycle of life. My then-4-year-old didn't mind that final point and the book seemed to help her process the death of our pet.
