Kindergarten-Grade 2—Burleigh tackles a tough subject in this story of a boy whose dog dies of old age. Death comes with no trauma, just a slow decline as Sheepie runs out of energy and stamina. Owen eventually finds him lying motionless under a tree and realizes that he has lost his friend. The tearful child and his father put the animal carefully into a wagon and, with great sorrow, bury him. As they do so, they recall many of the fun times they had with Sheepie. Burleigh fuses the story with the obvious sadness but with the hope that Sheepie will always be part of their lives. Catalanotto's watercolor and gouache illustrations provide the soft edges that keep this story poignant yet real. Losing a pet is, in some ways, a rehearsal for other losses, and this book may well help children cope when such things occur. Team it with Judith Viorst's The Tenth Good Thing About Barney (S & S, 1971) for helping children begin to understand the realities of death.—Joan Kindig, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA
