Awesome Read!

My fourth grade and I love The Valley Forge Dog. Not only was it entertaining, but also very educational. My student's learned much about the encampment and the harsh winter the soldiers and those who took care of them endured. I loved how the story was told mainly through the eyes of Clay, Will's (a young boy in the fife and drum corps) coonhound and who is also known as The Valley Forge Dog. The narrator also does a nice job and was able to interject lots of emotion without going overboard. I highly recommend this book.
