"A book that makes you think..."

Visit a mental institution and find out the answers to some clever questions such as, "If there is life after death, why can't there be life before birth?" and "If all the world's a stage, then where is the audience sitting?" Listen to Daisy's story, a young pup with a lot to say, who has learned a lot and who has a lot to teach. Naturally, I was attracted to this story first, as my own pup's name is Daisy.I also enjoyed Mr. LaRocca's poem "Reflection from the Grave." It details deep reasoning to why one should be cremated, and let go when it is their time to go.
