"This is the story of a cat named Clyde who had lots of adventures... after he died!" Thus begins a journey through the natural world that is part science and part fantasy. Like all creatures, Clyde is transformed and reintegrated into the natural world of growing things, plants, water, and weather. In poetic and vivid language and warm and colorful illustrations, this story seeks to put the death of a pet into its widest, most universal, and in a sense most benign context. An eye-opener for children of all ages, and a beautiful sympathetic meditation for adults.
