Praise for Sally Goes to Heaven "Any family who has ever loved and lost a dog will find comfort in Sally Goes to Heaven . Stephen Huneck's beautiful illustrations and simple text evoke an afterlife that is everything we could hope for our dogs--and ourselves." --Ken Foster, author of The Dogs Who Found Me and I'm a Good Dog "The final entry in the late Huneck's series about Sally the black Labrador is a touching account of Sally's death from old age and her joyous experiences in heaven." -- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW "Huneck's instantly recognizable woodcuts make each scene feel iconic, and his plainspoken prose will provide grieving young pet-owners with a measure of relief." -- Publishers Weekly , STARRED REVIEW "This title can help children remember the good times in both Sally's or their own pet's life." -- School Library Journal " The folk art-style woodblock illustrations, in their directness and simplicity, are as comforting as the text." -- Booklist
