I'm surprised my 2-year old liked this. It seemed a bit old for him, but he did. It might be a good book to read if you want to bring up death with children.

This had a really neat, novel subject matter. Death has come for the cobbler's soul, but he gets new shoes, instead. The illustrations are really neat, too. It's more of a book that adults would appreciate.

This book is probably too sophisticated for the target audience, but it was clever and fun. I would definitely recommend it for older elementary (those who think they've outgrown picture books). An original twist on the idea of people trying to cheat or outsmart Death when he comes for you. Great illustrations, too.

Not sure if this will appeal to kids, but I found the story quite clever.
