Read for: Early Reader Challenge
Synopsis: "Meet Gabe, a real dog who worked with the United States military, in this Level 2 Ready-to-Read based on one of the winners of the annual American Humane Association's Hero Dog Awards!
Meet Gabe. Gabe had an important job: He used his canine sense of smell to find weapons before they hurt anyone. Gabe saved lives! When he wasn't sniffing out explosives in Iraq, Gabe spent his time cheering up wounded soldiers in the hospital and visiting schools across the United States! Read his action-packed story to find out more about what he did and what made Gabe a hero dog!
Emerging readers will love discovering the inspiring, action-packed story of a different heroic dog in each book of the Hero Dog series."
My Review: I figured this would be a great one for Munchkin, he loves non-fiction books and dogs, and his uncle recently joined the Army. I like the way that this story is illustrated, the style gives it a taste of real without getting so real that it may cause issues for young kids with family serving (we do get to see an actual picture of Gabe at the end). The sentences are simple and the words are easy to sound out and are repetitive for those emerging readers.
My Rating: Munchkin really enjoyed this book and it sparked a lot of questions and discussions. We will definitely be tracking down more of the Hero Dog books. We give it a rating of Four Paws!
Good Night! Sweet Dreams!
