Description

Bestselling cartoonist Adrian Raeside captures the special bond between humans and their pets and, with marvelous illustrations, brings gentle humour to a story that will resonate with cat lovers of all ages.

Amy and Rocky are best friends, as close as a girl and a cat can be. They have been by each other's side since Amy was born, and seasons pass happily in companionship with tea parties, yarn chasing and warm naps. But as Rocky grows older, her purrs grow fainter--and one night, Rocky disappears. Amy is heartbroken until a helpful but flatulent friend of Rocky brings her to the Rainbow Bridge, a magical paradise for pets of all kinds.

There, Amy finds Rocky again and together they explore the Rainbow Bridge, a place where there are fields of catnip and cats never run out of fragile things to break, and where the feline inhabitants have formed a truce with pet birds, mice and hamsters.

Since publication in 2012, Adrian Raeside's The Rainbow Bridge: A Visit to Pet Paradise has sold over seventy-five thousand copies in Canada and the United States, providing a story that comforts children as they deal with the loss of a pet. This companion volume will have special appeal for cat lovers.
