I like how it focuses so much on positive thoughts rather than sadness. I loved the picture. I think the artwork (obviously) adds so much to a story and I think the way the artist has captured the expression of the boy and the dog makes the story!

I like how the story doesn't tell how Ralph died - that was it will fit with any pet death that a child has. That makes it unique to some other books I have read.
