This book is definitely NOT for children. The video has a PG-13 rating which I would have to question. While it has cuddly animated dogs on the DVD case, as an adult, I quit watching after the second human death which resulted from interaction with a dog. Sick! I don't know how graphic the book is, but I would suggest that parents read it first, and then make a judgement on how suitable it is for their own children.
