4.0 out of 5 stars Badger was too brief., Sep 14 2001
By A Customer
I did like this book a lot. It deals with death in a non-threatening and simple way. However, I thought the book was too brief and I did not empathize well enough with the characters. The illustrations are wonderfully drawn and the creatures are very humanistic. I would recommend this book for young children.

5.0 out of 5 stars A touching, deft treatment of a painful subject., Jan 25 2001
By A Customer
From the wonderful artwork to the marvelous characters, this book is a touching look at death, and how life goes on. Badger's friends are saddened by his passing, but they come to realize that everyone lives on through their gifts of kindness and the happy memories that remain. Only one caution: if you've experienced the loss of a "Badger" in your own life, this book can reduce you to tears in about five minutes (said from experience!) Cleansing, ultimately uplifting, but may be harder on adults than kids... Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for anyone who has lost someone they love, Jun 6 2000
By A Customer
Susan Varley is amazing. I've read everything I can find written for children about death, and this is by far the best. And it's not just for kids. I bought this book to share with my children after my brother's death five years ago. They seemed to connect with it, but I think it spoke even more to me than it did to them. We've since experienced other losses, and this is always the first book that comes off the shelves. I'm now buying copies for an adult friend who lost his father, and elementary school classmates of my sons' whose mother just died from cancer. If you or someone you care about are grieving, try this book. You may find some smiles amidst the tears.
