(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Andreasen. Mike makes a pact to do everything with his dog Corky, calling it their "Forever Plan." After Corky dies unexpectedly, Mike's mother encourages him to rethink what "forever" means. This is a useful (though unsubtle and a bit wordy) story to help children deal with loss. The warm-toned illustrations on creamy paper are friendly and comforting.
