 An Essential Guide Jul 27, 2008
By Cynthia Love
"Saying Goodbye to Buddy" is a book that speaks directly and sensitively about the grieving process that children and adults face when their companion animals are ill and dying. Not only does it present the topic in a touching and compassionate manner, it also provides a workbook to help children express their feelings and to assist in their understand of the natural cycle of death and life. I recommend this book for all ages.

 ... a sensitive, imaginative, and yet common sense approach ... Jul 12, 2008
By Daniel B. Smith
"Scooter"
In "Saying Goodbye to Buddy", Jennifer Walz and Jinna Russell give parents a sensitive, imaginative, and yet common sense approach to what is most often a child's first experience with death. Attesting to the clarity and strength of this guide, the touching photographic illustrations alone could convey most of the message. Even so, their insight into how a child may show grief and how to use a journal-workbook to facilitate the process are essential for every parent.

Helping children understand mortality Jul 12, 2008
By Amy Martin
"Moonlady"
While the book covers the aging, illness and death of Buddy, a beloved family pet, it goes far beyond by serving as a metaphor for the mortality that all pets and people on planet Earth must face. Children gain comfort from learning that the natural process of aging and death is simply a physical phenomenon. The concept that the spirit continues is presented in a way that all faiths can feel comfortable with. A fine book and genuine public service with beautiful photographs.

Tender and touching book for children and adults Jun 11, 2008
By L. Benton
This book deals with the dying and grieving process involved in losing a pet. It is a good conversation starter for parents looking for ways to address the topic of death, dying and loss, not just for a family pet, but for other loved ones as well. It also a good book to acknowledge and affirm the importance of pets in a family's life. I would recommend it for children and adults as a compassionate and touching look at pet loss. The pictures are beautiful.
Great book for children grieving the loss of a pet Jun 03, 2008
By Melanie Calahan Walz
"Melanie CW"
This is a sensitive book that is very helpful, especially for children dealing with the loss of a pet. In addition to the story, I liked the fact that there are "workbook" pages in the back to help in the grieving process and to provide a memorial to the pet. I definitely recommend the book.
