 Rating:  - One of the bestI checked out many books at the library that attempt to explain death to a 5 yr old. "When Dinosaurs Die" is the only one I felt covered everything I wanted my son to know and it did it in a positive way. It is the only book I ended up actually purchasing.

He read it and then recommended that I read it - "it will help you too, mom." We had to purchase our own copy and got one for our school's guidance office. Great way to remember a loved one and deal with the loss at the same time.
