Goodbye Mousie by Robie Harris

In Robie Harris’s book Goodbye Mousie, we begin the day with a young boy whose pet mouse, Mousie, won’t seem to wake up. When the boy learns that Mousie has died, he starts feeling things he doesn’t understand. One minute he feels sad, and the next he is mad! As the story progresses, we see the boy’s family encourage a ritualization of their furry friend, along with sharing memories that will bring laughs and smiles for a lifetime. This is an excellent resource for a child who has had a pet cross over that special rainbow bridge.
