BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
From the very first time they met, a boy and a dog become best friends. They share their life together. Their bond becomes deeper as they go on adventures, celebrate milestones and comfort each other. As the dog gets older, the boy discovers that love never goes away and it never forgets.
Ashman has written a poignant book about coping when a pet passes away. The illustrations are beautiful paintings that look like photographs. The book is laid out partially like a scrapbook detailing the boy's life with his dog. This book would be a comfort to a child who has lost their pet but can also be enjoyed by children who are dog lovers.
The boy is presumably white.
