Friday old Favourite
Dominic is a rich and very rewarding reading experience. If you are looking for a book to read to a Grade 4 or 5 class Dominic would be a perfect choice. I have talked about this book on two previous occasions (4th February 2013 and 17th February 2013) but I just wanted to share it again because over the last day I have thoroughly enjoyed this story all over again. I picked up my copy from a pile of disposed books in a school library. This quote from the back cover is perfect:
"William Steig has created an engaging hero, a dog with a heart of gold, nerves of steel, and the varied talents of Renaissance Man. Dominic Sallies forth to see the world and to earn gratitude and acclaim for her generosity, his courage, and his prowess at absolutely everything to which he turns his paw - including foiling of a dastardly troop of villains who have been preying on the community." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
