Good for all ages.. - My father passed away a few months ago and the library had this DVD. I got it for my son who is 8 years old, but I also ended up feeling comforted by the healing words the author speaks. That being said, I found this to be informative yet gentle for a child's mind and not terribly fantasy-like. There is one part where the person who passed away comes down and flies away with the survivor child -- that's about as "untrue" as it gets.
Overall I would definitely recommend this for any age..

What on Earth - Was a good resource for 8-11 yr old kids upon the death of a loved one.

Very good reading for children! - My 9 year-old son recently lost his father and he was not talking to me or any family members about his feelings. This book was very thorough for a young person and it helped him to open dialogue with me and start his grieving process. I highly recommend this book.

Helpful for Basic Questions of A Child Experiencing A Death - This book provides brief and blunt answers to questions many children may have and adults may not consider - it touches on 'What is a Memorial Service', 'Where does the person go', 'Am I Going To Die Too?', 'Is the Death My Fault' as well as common feelings experienced while grieving. Each topic is brief and written for a child.
As an Adult: At first, this was the only book I could read myself, as most of the other books were too overwhelming.

Childish illustration paired with Blunt realism. - I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old, she has never seen it. I found it too clinical, and not at all what I had imagined having read the other reviews. The cartoons seemed aimed at my daughters age group, yet the writing is in my opinion, not for little ones. I showed this book to my twelve year old niece, thinking maybe the target was more in her age range. Her response was an incredulous "isnt this supposed to make you feel better!?"...
