It was a good three months, but all good things must come to an end.  We hope that you discovered some great kid lit bloggers along the way and got a sense of our exciting season.

Let’s do a quick montage! Like they do in the movies!

In August we learned all about parrots, and learned a couple of football gambits from Jesse, Jay and Savannah.

 

In September Stanley had two full career changes! Pig and Small became lifelong friends! And Charlie Bumpers used desensitization techniques to overcome his Halloween fears!

 

 

We wrapped up in October with an animal parade, a skiing sock and pup, and a lifesaving dog. 

 

 

 
That wraps it up for this season, but we’ve got exciting changes in store for Spring 2015 titles.  In addition to reviews, we’ll also be showing blog tour followers story time ideas, crafts, flannel board patterns, discussion questions, and more extension activities!  You can thank our guest bloggers for that! As always, visit our website for free Teachers Guides.

An action-packed and heartwarming story of a dog in gold rush-era Alaska
All Murphy wants is a home and a loving family. After escaping from his brutal, merciless owner, he is taken in by a young girl named Sally. She and her mother have just arrived in Nome, Alaska, intent on joining the other gold seekers and making a new life for themselves, free from their wealthy but oppressive family in Seattle.
Yet, even with Murphy at their side, Sally and Mama find living in the mining town harsh and forbidding. When it seems they may have to give up and return to Seattle, Sally and Murphy decide to strike out on their own, hoping to find gold and make a permanent home. But dangers await them – not only blizzards and grizzly bears, but also Murphy’s original owner, who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, whether it is an ill-gotten fortune or a valuable dog.
