The Day They Put a Tax on Rainbows
by Johnny ValentineThe first story tells of a magic ring. It grants the owner one wish, but there is always an unpredictable consequence for that wish. When a girl uses the wish to avoid drowning in the sea, she becomes a mermaid. This tale is about how she lives after that and how the ring is used again. The second story is more of a classic "three sons tale" with the youngest, who seems to have the least to offer, being the one who solves the most impossible part of a group task.

The Day Tiger Rose Said Goodbye
by Jane Yolen Jim LamarcheNot since The 10th Good Thing About Barney or I'll Always Love You has there been such a peaceful and inspiring book to help children and adults cope with the loss of a pet. The talented multiple-medalist Jane Yolen takes on this difficult subject with her usual grace and poetic sensitivity, focusing not on the death as much as the life in the last day of an older cat named Tiger Rose. Tiger Rose's kitten days are long gone and she's grown too tired to stay, so she says her goodbyes to all the creatures and the joys of her natural world--from the scolding blue jay, to the dog and children she shares her home with, to a chipmunk, startled by her gentleness, to her favorite shady patch under a piney bush. In a final vision, Tiger Rose takes one last leap into the blue sky and becomes one with all--the earth, the air, the sun. . . . This is perhaps the most reassuring book on death available for children.From the Hardcover edition.
