Snowball by Ellen Miles January 5, 2009

Posted by jcarlson in : Animal Fiction, Podcasts, Realistic Fiction , trackback

Do you know someone who loves dogs and is beginning to read chapter books?  Puppy Place is the perfect series for this child.  Written at about a second grade reading level, each book is about a different puppy that the Peterson family wants to place in a good home.

Snowball is the second book in the series.  It’s about a West Highland white terrier that somebody left in a box at the local gas station.  After taking the puppy to the vet, the Peterson family brings it home to nurse it back to health and to find the perfect home.

The books in this series are educational and fun.  In each book, the reader learns about a different breed of dog.  Throughout the story, there are paragraphs written in italics that describe the puppy’s thoughts.  At the end of the book, there are “Puppy Tips” to teach the reader how to take care of a new puppy.
