If anyone wants to read a kid's picture book about a little cat that passes away, it's an oldie but goodie that still brings me to tears. It's by Judith Voirst, and it's called "The Tenth Good Thing About Barney". A little boy loses his cat, Barney, and his mom and dad say that he has to find 10 good things to say about him.

It's a tearjerker of a little book, and makes all the little girls at school cry, lol. But it's so tender and sweet.

Just thought I'd mention it. It's also got our boy's name in the title. Can't be bad there.
