Summary: The best book read for explaining death, and its vocabulary
Comment: When Dinosaurs Die explains, in very direct terms, what it means to die. Also, it talks about the different ways a person dies, explains what different people believe happens after death, and what may be done to remember soneone who has died. The book even includes a glossary to define all the new words that may be associated with a death, such as autopsy and cremation. The author accomplishes all this without bias, or condescention. The language is simple enough for a child of four, the concepts, comforting, even for those of us in our thirties. Well worth owning.

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: It has been almost six months since our High School Business Teacher, Mrs June Wang passed away. When she died, I found a copy of "When Dinosaurs Die" at a bookstore and donated it to the school library in memory of her. It was such a good book that it made the librarian cry. It has episodes in it like, What does Alive Mean, and What does Dead mean, and What Comes after death. My favorite book was when a little girl was getting her pet hamster ready to be buried and her brother took a piece of lettuce and said, "Here's a snack in case she gets hungry." And the mother said, "Sweetheart dead hamsters don't get hungry." That reminds me of when the egyptians put food in the pyramids for the mummies, for their life after death. Well worth owning.--Robert Metz

Summary: Overall a good start on a difficult subject
Comment: My biggest problem with the book, would have to be the structure. It jumps from one type of family death to another (pet as opposed to a parent or grandparent) too quickly and in a confusing fashion. I think it would have been more effective if they had written it as a narrative of a young character learning a relative had died, and going through the stages of emotions, the funeral, aftermath, etc. Still, this book presents many of the situations kids are certain to go through when they lose a loved one (anger, denial) and for that I give much credit. I find it unfortunate that almost all authors of kids series that stress coping with new situations and rites of passage in life don't want to touch this subject, even though it is probably the most important issue that a child has to deal with at that age.
