How old are they? There's a picture book, called Badger's Parting Gifts by Susan Varley which is meant to be quite good.

I remember a thread somewhere about this - it may not have been Mumsnet. I did a Google search and came up with a website dealing with bereavement and children which had a list.

Busy tidying up (in thoery!) so can't look now. Something like bereavement children books was probably the search I did. There were 5 books or so that were appropriate.

How about These?

we have the Mog book, which Judith Kerr wrote to tackle the issue of death, it's very sweet especially if they know Mog already

god! I had an uncle bob who did die!

the mog one looks a real tear jerker!

I'd heartily recommend it, Judith Kerr's getting on a bit herself & talked about it a lot on the radio when it was published.

There may be others, I just searched on "Susan Varley" because I rememebered posting about the Badger book before.
