A touching story of a family who rescues Great Pyrenees dogs, and how they helped a child find his words.
Zoe's family always has multiple dogs in the house, always Pyrenees. Life is never dull at their home with all the dogs coming and going. But Kodi is the dog that stays with them. Well a new family moves in the neighborhood, perfect furniture, drapes and very overprotective. Phillip is a part of this family and doesn't speak. He won't even try, but he likes coming over to the fence to see the dogs. Only his family is afraid of the big dogs and at first is reluctant to let him come over. Only when a rescued dog and Phillip disappear do things change. This would be a great book to read with a child who is having family problems. It would really get you to talk about what is troubling Phillip and might lead to more conversation. Ages 7-11. McElderry Books. $15.99
