This book is fantastic. It is a sweet story about a dog and a boy. It uses great artwork and easy words to carry the reader through the story. I think this is a great book for a kid who may have just lost a pet. The artwork in this book is just as great as the story.

This ended up being an okay book, but first impression picking it up.... CREEPY.

I like creepy really I do...if you know me you will be well aware of this fact. But this one kind of took it too far.

SPOILER!!!!!!!

At one point the skeletons realize the boy is not in fact a skeleton but a boy and threaten to remove all of his guts. It just came across really creepily...

But then the book has a really cute ending with the dogs chasing the skeletons for their bones. Some part of me though can't help but read the message that don't worry if your dog dies, he will come back every year on halloween is a bit too much ( )

I'm not sure what to think of this book. It's a little sad, it's a little creepy, and it's a Halloween story. I'm not really sure if it would work at a preschool story time. I do think it would work well as a book to help kids deal with a pet's death at any time of year. I also really enjoy Rohmann's illustrations. ( )

Good book to share at Halloween or with a child whose pet passes away. Shares a wonderful story of a boy whose dog passes away, but the bond is still there. ( )

This is a story about a dog that dies and then comes back as a skeleton to protect the little boy he had lived with. Before he dies the dog promises to always be there for the boy. I think this is a very sweet book about loyalty and friendship. Some kids may have a hard time with the skeletons are the dog dying but overall I think this is a good book to share with all ages.
