A well written and compassionate explanation for the children that experience the death of a pet.  Rosie, a dog,  had an accident and the Vet was unable to save her.  The father explains death to the boy and he learns how to accept the death.  I found it to be an outstanding story in that the boy planted a tree in Rosie's memory.  Also, he takes time to grieve before he gets another pet.Also, although it is not part of the story, I really loved the explanation of the artichoke which is the author's symbol.Most highly recommended.
