All the Dear Little Animals
Checking Availibility...Description
"One summer's day we started a business called Funerals Ltd., to help all the poor dead animals in the world. Esther did the digging, I wrote the poems, and Esther's little brother, Puttie, cried." Early readers will love the dry humor and wonderfully rounded story of All the Dear Little Animals. Nilsson perfectly captures the child's perspective, balancing compassion and humor. This is a very funny story about a topic that touches all of us.
About this Author
Reviews
"First published in Sweden, the book has a childlike tone that is reverent, winsome, and matter-of-fact. . . . [T]his pitch-perfect book shows children dealing with death in their own ways and then moving on."--starred, Booklist
"A sly, thoughtful, many-layered story."--starred, Publishers Weekly
"The story cleverly--and tenderly--pivots near its end, giving it a touching depth (with a twist). . . . Dark and hilarious."--starred, Kirkus Reviews
"This illustrated early chapter book is a darkly comedic exploration of life and death. . . .Honest and uncomfortable humor within the soft, pale vignettes and full-page and double-page-spread art captures the book's spirit. . ."--The Horn Book Magazine
