K-3Toon Book series.
Mouse siblings Benny and Penny discover a deceased Little Red--their salamander playmate--under a pile of leaves. Penny sets about burying Little Red, as Benny struggles with guilt over his unkindness while Little Red was alive. The graphic novel format makes multiple perspectives accessible to beginning readers. Soft, autumnal colored-pencil illustrations suit the gentle exploration of death.
