Sorry, but, they spoiled the ending
Annoyed, because the ending of this book is different from the one I brought my sons up with. Beware, there are TWO different texts, the UK and the US versions. The US version ends on a completely anodyne note, the UK one teaches life lessons.
Small asks: " What about when you're dead and gone ?" Large takes Small outside and says " See the stars, how they shine and glow ? Well some of those stars died a long time ago, but still they shine in the evening sky, because love, like starlight, never dies"
I actually bought this for the children of friends who'd lost their grandparents. I wanted the correct ending !~!!
