Title: Not a great choice for my family....
Review: I have to agree that this topic and the sad ending of the story might be of value to specific kids, but in general this book didn't go over well in our house.As a very sensitive animal lover, my daughter didn't handle the ending well at all. We've read other books by this author that were great, and I'm sorry I trusted that her book would be appropriate for my daughter without reading it first.This story has a sad ending, with not much to "hope" for, and a couple of pages at the end from a dog handler about how the family made some poor choices. Maybe this moral stuff works for older kids, but not for my 1st grader. Pass on this one if your child has any trouble at all with sad endings.
