I don't think this topic is too sensitive for children. The author does a good job of discussing the death of their pet in a very subtle and straightforward manner. I think it is good for children to learn that their loved ones and four-legged friends will eventually depart this world, and that there is beauty to be found in the love and memory of these people and pets.

At some point children should be educated about the truth of life and that involves death. And if that education could be done without being traumatic, the child could learn how to deal with grief and lost better.

Discussing the death of a pet is always difficult when it comes to children but I believe that this book could also help child dealing with the same predicament to understand that it’s a part of life though this book might not hold their attention long enough.
