The Tenth Good Thing About Barney

A tender story of a little boy's grief when his cat dies and how it helps to remember the good things about him.

My cat Barney died this Friday. I was very sad. My mother said we could have a funeral for him, and I should think of ten good things about Barney so I could tell them... But the small boy who loved Barney can only think of nine. Later, while talking with his father, he discovers the tenth -- and begins to understand.

Lulu's parents refuse to give in when she demands a brontosaurus for her birthday and so she sets out to find her own, but while the brontosaurus she finally meets approves of pets, he does not intend to be Lulu's.

Recounts the events of a day when everything goes wrong for Alexander. Suggested level: junior, primary.

Neighborhood children imaginatively stage funerals for dead bugs, but they experience real sadness following the death of a pet.

Based on the real-life Gus and Ida of New York's Central Park Zoo, this is the story of a polar bear who grieves over the loss of his companion.

When Alexander feels mad or dad he wants to move to Australia. But most of the time he likes it right where he is. So when his mom and dad say that they're moving a thousand miles away, Alexander decides that he's not going. Never, Not ever. No way. Uh uh. N.O. For how can he leave his best friend or his favorite sitter or Seymour the cleaners? he'd rather stay and live in a tree house or cave. And even though Nick calls him puke-face and Anthony says he's immature, he's not (Do you hear me? I mean it!) going to move.
