Wonderful Story About Dog in History February 19, 2008
Kid Reads (NYC, NY)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a terrific book for early Middle School readers. The central character is a dog named Chips. He is a military dog from World War II, and many of the events in the book are based on facts from his real life. This is a perfect combination of history, adventure, and a great old fashion "dog" story. My grandson, age nine, loved it as did my granddaughter, age eleven. They read the book first and then watched the Disney movie about the same dog called "Chips the War Dog"Chips the War Dog. In my opinion, the movie is a lot more Hollywood fantasy, and the book has more historical facts and is more in keeping with the real "Chips". This also makes a good book for Middle School book reports. The publisher's web site also has teaching guides for anyone interested([...]).
