NEW AND
RECOMMENDED: POOKUS
AND BUCKIE
Sandy Clark,
2005
Sandy sent me this
wonderfully sweet book she wrote for children about
differences and friendship. It's based on a true
story, and I think it would be a great addition to
an elementary classroom library. There is also a
curriculum to use along with the book and other
materials including photos of the real Pookus (her
Yorkie) and Buckie (a deer). You can find out more
about the book at the website www.pookusandbuckie.com.
