Oh my gosh, I absolutely ADORE this book. Maybe it's a bit morbid, but I find myself reaching for it whenever there's a death in my family. Something about reconnecting with Connor's monster makes things feel manageable. I love that you were able to use the book to have a conversation with your kids. I 100% agree about the illustrations: the book without them is good, but the illustrations make it into an engulfing experience.
