A very realistic discussion about death — including the physical changes a body undergoes. Children find a dead bird in the park and, emulating adult behaviour, hold a funeral and burial service for the bird. They keep its grave tidy, with flowers on it, until they forget, in the manner of children.

Ages: 3 to 5 years old / 5 to 7 years old.
