Genre: Literature/Classic
Grade: A
Reason for reading: reread one of my favorite childhood books
Type: paperback
Blurb (from back cover): "Billy has long dreamt of owning not one but two dogs. So when he's finally able to save up enough money for two pups to call his own, he's ecstatic.
"Soon Billy and his hounds become the finest hunting team in the valley . But tragedy awaits these determined hunters-now friends-and in time Billy learns that hope can grow out of despair."
Opinion: Sometimes it is just fun to reread some of your favorite books from childhood-see if you still have the same appreciation. See if what you remember is still there. As an adult, I have more questions-like how did Billy know how to train these pups to be the outstanding hunters that they were? Still an enjoyable read for me. Maybe I'll read it again in another 30 years or so.
