Outdated and painful to read. Seems to achieve it's goal to be a vocabulary book (complete with phonetic pronunciation: "kon-TROLL", "GREEF", etc.) while completely failing to offer comfort or sympathy for a child grieving the loss of a parent. Also awkwardly written, with sections referring to a dad's death and in the next to a mom's death without the proper pacing or transition. Seems aimed at ages 5-8 ]]> <![CDATA[Jennifer added 'Rudi's Pond']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76956862 to: Rudi's Pond (Paperback) by Eve Bunting
