 Pond Life April 23, 2008
Kevin J. Doble (London)
The pamphlet is well written and illustrated. Good for sharing with a young child. However, it was not very useful to me. The analogy is misleading and obviously based on an 'afterlife'. May appeal to some but not for those looking for a more straightforward, rational approach.
 A lovely story, and a very useful analogy. March 18, 2007

I'm reading this book to my 4-year old who's asking where Granddad has gone. It's a particularly useful analogy because of the 2 different environments lived in by the water bugs and the dragonfly, which explains why we can't go to see if Granddad is OK and neither can he come back to see us! It is a bit religious, but if you're OK with that, it's a great story.

This book tells a sweet story of a water bug who leaves his old life behind to become a dragonfly in his new life. I did feel the story would only appeal to under 5-6 year olds as the story was fictional and did not give the reality of death. Beautifully illustrated, a lovely prayer at the end of the book with the option to put the name of the deceased in. This book would make a nice keepsake for a child to remember the loved one that died.
Only helpful to VERY young kids with Christian beliefs. February 6, 2002

I found this very religious. The reading level was focused at VERY young children, but it was not appropriate to read the whole book to the child in my case as the Christian leaning of the end of the book was too strong for my liking. It was a bit of a waste of money!
Enables children to make sense of death June 24, 2001

This children's book explains the Christian belief of life after death through a story about the lifecycle of waterbugs and dragonflies. Children enjoy the story, and at the same time can relate it to their experience of death. It will be helpful for them both if they have immediate experience of death, or if - when! - they ask questions about it in general. It's easy to read to children who are too young to read it themselves; they will understand it.
