Boomer Goes to School

This is a wicked cute book about a dog who gets to school with his kid owner as the show-and tell presentation. Boomer is a crazy dog who gets into everything and anything at school, and bringing him into school to represent the boy's show and tell was probably a lot more difficult than he had anticipated.

Eventually down the road I would like to write children's books, but one thing I have started recently was a series of more comedic tales of my dog Lucy's crazy, almost human-priveledged life. I grew up with a yellow laboradoar, who was just a part of our family as any one of us, and people sometimes overlook the relationships that can be developed with animals and their owners. They need us just as much as we need them, and I wish more animals could feel the love that our pets do when they are welcomed into a home--granted that it be a good and loving home.

For teachable moments, this story provides a great conflict-solution theme, where as a pre-activity, students could talk about what might occur if they brought their pets to school. After reading the book, the students could come up with a new plan to bring Boomer to school, with a better and more organized plan that could keep him out of most of the trouble he had gotten into. :) This was an adorable book, another library keeper :)
