Goodbye Mog by Judith Kerr

Judith Kerr's beloved Mog, a mischievous, and clumsy tabby cat, has had many adventures over the years, but none so moving as her last. Goodbye Mog is about the death of a pet, rather than a family member. However, this can often be a useful way into larger conversations about death and dying with young children.
