into.

The Little Mouse, The Big Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear is for younger children. The pictures are great! One of my favorites.

This book is the first book about a brother and sister dogs and their

life. If y0u are a dog lover then this is sad book to read. For older children. This is a good book to read then read the other book about

Itsy Bitsy

Everything For A Dog

Everything For A Dog is for older children. This book is the second in a series from Ann M. Martin.

The first story is about what happens to the sister and it is called A Dog's Life.

This book is second about what happens to the boy. Sometimes sad with a happy ending.

For the younger reader. Second or third grade age would be best for this book. There is a lot of humor. The younger reader could relate to this book.

This was a good book for older children. I would suggest older 6 graders or middle schoolers. It was how daughter and mother deal with the return of their father and husband from the Iqua war. He has an arm, leg, and traumatic brain injuries. He is never the same father or husband he was once.

Franny Parker is an interesting book but should be read by older children

such as late 5th grade and up. It is about new beginnings and young love.
