Summary: Too abstract for young children
Comment: I am the parent of a 2 and 4 year old, and bought this book because I needed to explain to them about death. I was looking for a book to explain the death of someone who wasn't old or sick for very long and who didn't get to say goodby to his friends. This book was not the right one for my purposes.
I found it to be too abstract. Badger doesn't die, he goes down a "long tunnel." Also, he appears to either have been sick for a while or simply coming to the end of a long full life.
If you have older children, ages 8 to 10, and they already understand about death, then perhaps this book could be comforting. Then again, it might just make them afraid of long tunnels.

Summary: Barder's Parting Gifts
Comment: Badger's Paring Gifts is a sad yet happy story. Badger was someone who everyone loved and could talk to. He helped them in many ways. The greatest gift Badger left them was the one of memories.
Even though this is a sad, also happy story, I would definatley recommend this book. This story teaches that no matter what you will always have the memories you shared between you and your loved ones.

Summary: Badger was too brief.
Comment: I did like this book a lot. It deals with death in a non-threatening and simple way. However, I thought the book was too brief and I did not empathize well enough with the characters. The illustrations are wonderfully drawn and the creatures are very humanistic. I would recommend this book for young children.
