In Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant's classic bestseller, the author comforts readers young and old who have lost a dog. Recommended highly by pet lovers around the world, Dog Heaven not only comforts but also brings a tear to anyone who is devoted to a pet. From expansive fields where dogs can run and run to delicious biscuits no dog can resist, Rylant paints a warm and affectionate picture of the ideal place God would, of course, create for man's best friend. The first picture book illustrated by the author, Dog Heaven is enhanced by Rylant's bright, bold paintings that perfectly capture an afterlife sure to bring solace to anyone who is grieving.
One Potato Review
No matter your religious persuasion, here is an enormously consoling picture for anyone who has ever lost a dog. With wide open fields for running, and geese who “honk and flap and tease”, and children - on bikes and sleds and throwing red rubber balls - plus a guest appearance by God in the guise of a little old man who seems to be trying very hard not to get in the way; it’s finally dogs who do the angels’ work.
