When dinosaurs die

We have just had a presentation at uni about introducing death to kids and been shown this book. I thought it was brilliant- it covers a wide range of situations from prem babies to accidents and getting old. it explains the difference between being alive and dead. A really useful way of talking to kids about death, not too heavy and even covers the fateful death of the hamster!

Perfect for kids and parents!
Comprehensive, subtle, even humorous, explores many aspects of dying and associated situations. Helps kids ask questions, and parents answer them. A great book for home library!

Useful for explaining a difficult subject
After the death of a grandparent I found this book very useful for my 9 year old son. He was finding the death very upsetting and this gave a clear account of what happens when someone dies down to what a coffin is, It is done in a straightforward way but with cartoons and dinosaurs which lightens the subject and adds a bit of humour. Very useful!
