GEN: death book

[Marcia Dressel <dressel@OZ.OSCEOLA.K12.WI.US>]

I held a bookswap for National Library Week last week and one book about
death was brought in.  I like it so much I'm going to try to get a
hardcover copy for our library.  Thought you might like to know of it also.
 It may be a lovely memorial book, but certainly is a likely candidate for
elementary (and highter) collections needing more help with the theme.
_Lifetimes: A beautiful way to explain death to children_ by Bryan Mellonie
and Robert Ingpen.  Bantam Books, 1983.
It discusses the lifetimes of trees, plants, rabbits, butterflies and mice,
and people.
From the ending: "...no matter how long they are, or how short, lifetimes
are really all the same.  They have beginnings, and endings, and there is
living in between."
