"The Death and Burial of Cock Robin" by Anonymous is a children's book with a slightly morbid edge. Meant to help readers learn about and come to terms with death and funerals, this book introduces readers to Cock Robin, a bird who, before the start of the book, passed away. Funeral norms and processes are carried out among the other forest animals and described in rhyme. Though dark or grim in nature, the book has a charm to it that has made it endure through time.
