While we cannot prevent everything that might happen to our children, A Terrible Thing Happened helps young children process their feelings and reactions to it. "As a picture book, A Terrible Thing is an unqualified success, especially in terms of the all-important interaction of text and pictures. These illustrations are not only professionally executed, they serve the text extremely well, adding welcome touches of humor to the exposition of this very serious subject."-Michael Cart, Booklist Magazine |
