Goodbye Mousie

(3) PS Illustrated by Jan Ormerod. Gently but realistically, a young boy narrates the story of his reaction to Mousie's death, going through denial, anger, and, finally, acceptance. After he prepares his pet for burial, lovingly painting the shoebox, he realizes that one day he may get another mouse . . . "but not just yet." The quiet tones and soft lines of the illustrations provide an unobtrusive background, yet offer touches of warmth.
