*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2013*

We lost our family dog a few months before coming across this title.  Although it couldn't bring our Jake back... it helped fill a void created by his loss.  Timely find.  Sweet story.  Tears!!!

    How to Traumatize Children 101
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2014*

If you want to traumatize young children, this is the book for you.The story has adorable drawings and starts off describing the life of a boy (Harry) and his dog (Hopper).  Only seven pages in, however, Hopper dies.  There was apparently an "accident" while Harry was at school and Hopper died.  There was no subtitle or indication on the cover (of the book we checked out from the library) that this would happen.  I was reading this as a bedtime story to a three-year-old and five-year-old.  They were understandably upset, seeing as how they were not prepared for this to happen at all.  Because our boys are young, I usually try to prepare them for books where something shocking or upsetting might happen.Harry's dad is going to bury the dog.  Harry decides not to say goodbye at that time.The next night, Harry sleeps on the sofa and Hopper comes to visit.  My sons were so confused by this.  Hopper was dead; how could he come back?  I said it was just a dream, though the book makes it pretty clear it is not a dream, to Harry.  Harry and Hopper play all night.  Hopper returns the next night, though isn't as playful or as warm.  The last night, Hopper doesn't come to the window.  Harry goes outside and finds Hopper "as wispy as winter fog, as cold as winter air."  Harry brings him in the house and they lay on the bed together and Harry says goodbye to Hopper.  That's the end of the book.  Apparently Harry has to hear Hopper died when he comes home from school, and then he has to watch Hopper slowly die all over again over the course of three nights.Even though I made it clear that Harry was only dreaming about Hopper, the boys were upset, crying, and scared.  They kept talking about zombie dogs and ghost dogs and how they come back to life after their dead if you didn't say goodbye, etc.  It took forever to get them to bed, and they refused to be in a room without me (including the bathroom).There MUST be other books out there better than this for dealing with the loss of a pet.  Really, ANYTHING would be better than this for a young child in particular.  At the very least, warn people they are going to be reading a book about a dead / zombie dog before they read it to little children.

    A Beautiful Love Story
  

*by O***W on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2013*

Every time I read a picture book, I smile or laugh, but Harry & Hopper was different. I cried and cried and blew my nose many times. Every time I read it, my heart is touched. I can't forget this motherless boy and his faithful, tender dog. Now they are living in my heart. This book is one of my treasures. I highly recommend this book for children in order to grow their sensitivity and to give them tender heart. Margaret Wild is a writer who can make a reader weep, and also Freya Blackwood's illustrations are super. This beautiful story and art together make good harmony. Even as I am writing this book review, my eyes are wet.
