I'll Never Love Anything Ever Again

From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 3 A young boy deals with the separation from his beloved dog in this first-person narrative. He has developed allergies that are causing him to miss school and the doctor has said that Tinsel must go. The boy remembers the good times they've had over the years and worries about how Tinsel will get along without him. The boy's mother locates a good home on a farm, and the understanding new owner invites the boy to visit Tinsel in the summer. Illustrations in black, white and blue reinforce the melancholy mood. A sympathetic view of the fears and concerns experienced in parting with a pet.Phyllis K.
