- 1 Really Want A Dog by Susan Breslow and Sally Blakemore

Juvenile fiction published by Dutton Children’s Books

Here we have a little boy who really wants a dog. He knows
that if he has a dog he will always have a best friend, someone
who will love just him.

But what kind of dog? Should it be big or little, a puppy or a.
grown-up dog, male or female? Should it have long shaggy hair
like a sheepdog, or maybe short curly hair like a spaniel? Which
would be better; a sporty dog or one who is shy? And should this
dog be fearless enough to chase away burglars and bears, or
would he prefer a dog who is soulful and bays at the moon?

And who will train this dog? Who will take it for long walks
and play with it if it gets lonely? Who will feed this dog and keep

- it clean and healthy? This little boy discovers there are lots and

lots of things to know about having a dog.

This ls The Way We Go To School by Edith Baer
Juvenile fiction published by Scholastic

It’s always interesting to know how children in other countries
live. But have you ever wondered what kind of transportation
they might use to go to school?

Would you ride a skidoo to school if you lived in Mexico?
How about if you lived in China, would you ride to school on
the back of a donkey? What if you lived in Siberia in the
U.5S.S.R.? Would you use a surfboard?

How do you go to school? Do you ride on a bus? Do you
think that might seem strange to someone living in Norway? How
would you go to school if you lived in Norway?

This is a very informative and entertaining book for young
readers, And older readers, too!
