Life needs death
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I have read this book over and over and have told this story and recommended this book to many. I love the illustrations by Paul Hess and love the way the story is told by Eric Maddern. i think it is so poignant these days that kids in particular learn about death. We hide death, we prolong death, we try to ignore death, but it is there and it is all around us. I remember growing up seeing geese and chickens and bits of pig hanging in the butchers windows. We knew these animals died to feed us. Nowadays everything comes prepackaged and death and respect is absent. Pets die and grandparents die yet we try to shelter all this from kids. We need to show that death is important, that life ends and begins; it is a circle. This book does a great job at that and entertaining at the same time. Hats off to Eric and Paul.
