      When Katie Woo’s dog, Goldie dies, Katie’s friends and family help her learn to cope with the loss. Through remembering Goldie’s life and making a scrapbook of happy memories, the characters explore ways to keep Goldie’s memory alive. This book’s gentle approach to teaching about death and loss will appeal to parents and educators, while its sweet and colorful illustrations and playful language will appeal to children. The characters exhibit gender and cultural diversity without being cliches or stereotypes. The death of Goldie, which may be a difficult topic for some young readers, is presented in straightforward language at the beginning of the story, allowing the reader to experience Katie’s process of grieving and accepting the loss of her pet over the course of the book. The story is broken up into chapters, which will aid comprehension by allowing readers to digest fundamental concepts one at a time. The language is simple, but effective for telling the story. Vibrant watercolor illustrations add to the story’s warmth, though they often do little more than rehash the text. Several discussion questions and writing prompts and an interactive scrapbook exercise provide opportunities for continued engagement. This book provides parents with a compassionate but honest way to introduce young children to the experience of losing a loved one. Glossary. Recommended.

      Wow, it's amazing how long it can take to read an easy reader, especially when you don't read the foreign language in which it is written.

      No worries, google translator to the rescue. This is a very sweet story about loosing a beloved pet. I still love, Katie.

      And I think I've picked up a little Spanish. By the end of the book I had dijo (said)down pat. Pronouns started to jump out, too.

      Maybe I should start purposely reading some of them in Spanish. It's a little clunky to us the translator, but no impossible:)
