The Tenth Good Thing About Barney
Author: Judith Viorst, Erik Blegvad (Illustrator)
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.

This is a great book to read when you loose a pet, a cat specifically. I give it to my friends, actually I often even read it to them when they loose their pets. They always cry and smile at the same time.

A very, very sweet book about a child whose cat dies. The dad says he doesn't think he can know for sure if there is a heaven, but if that if there is one, Barney is certainly there. This gives kids a great way to grieve for a pet, by listing the good things about it.
