He goes to bed wearing one sock. His elbows are named Clyde and Carl. He chicken-squawks his hello on the phone. There are some peculiar things about Ted, but his parents being divorced is not among them. With its lighthearted text and art, this book will find an audience, though the title may confine it to the "issues" section of the bookstore.

Mike makes a pact to do everything with his dog Corky, calling it their "Forever Plan." After Corky dies unexpectedly, Mike's mother encourages him to rethink what "forever" means. This is a useful (though unsubtle and a bit wordy) story to help children deal with loss. The warm-toned illustrations on creamy paper are friendly and comforting.
