The Beloved Dearly

by Doug Cooney
Illustrator: Tony DiTerlizzi

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing | February 1, 2002 | Hardcover

Ernie is a twelve-year-old tycoon, always on the lookout for a fast buck. This time he stumbles onto a money-making bonanza: pet funerals. He hires Dusty to decorate the burial boxes and Tony to dig the holes, but his prize find is Swimming Pool, a tomboy who delivers a crying jag not to be missed. Business goes through the roof -- until Ernie loses Swimming Pool over a raise and the whole venture unravels. Here is a rollicking, fun-spirited novel about friendship, loss, business -- and how we learn to express our feelings.

As a stage play, The Beloved Dearly was toured by the Lincoln Center Institute in a production directed by Elizabeth Swados. The play has also been produced at TADA!, where it was awarded the First Look Prize; South Coast Repertory; Florida Stage; and Riverside Children''s Theatre; and it has been published by Dramatic Publishing.

    This book is so awesome. Everyone should read it. I love a girl named Swimming Pool. I know, that is a wierd name. But, oh well. It is so funny. I kid making business in a cemetary made by his one hands. Isn't that cool. I could never make a business in this age. No way. I just want to be part of a business. And not to be the business's boss. And remember to read this book. It rocks this world.
