What about Daddles? Does anyone else remember this one? L. Kim Thomas Library Media Specialist Leavenworth High School Leavenworth, KS 66048 913.684.1500, ext. 106 Kim.Thomas@usd453.org "Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life." Mortimer J. Adler -----Original Message----- From: School Library Media & Network Communications [mailto:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU] On Behalf Of Barbara Massey Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 8:56 AM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: HIT: Dead dog books ORIGINAL REQUEST: One of our 6th grade teachers has asked me to compile a list of books "where the dog dies."-- she's reading No More Dead Dogs with her class. I can come up with the obvious ones, Where the Red Fern Grows, Sounder, Old Yeller, and Stone Fox. Any more suggestions? RESPONSES Sounder - Armstrong Where the Red Fern Grows - Rawls Stone Fox - Gardinar Old Yeller - Gipson Lad A Dog, Love that Dog, - Creech Old Shep, My Pal by Zack Paris, The Tenth Good Thing About Barney by Viorst My Dog Skip The Beloved Dearly by Cooney Dog Heaven by Cynthia Rylant Marley and Me: a dog like no other My Life in Dog Years is Gary Paulsen's autobiography in which each chapter of his life is described by the dog who he lived with at the time Last Dog on Earth by Erenhaft Letters From Wolfie by Sherlock The Soul of the Silver Dog by Lynn Hall. It is probably out of print but if you have it I consider if the big kahuna of dead dog books. See, first the dog is blind and so they almost put it down. Then he gets adopted and everything is going soooo great and then...and then...aruggh! If you have any other books by her, they may be dog, and probably dead dog, books. Cheers, A Dog Named Kitty-Wallace Lassie Come Home Red Dog - Wallace Z for Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien Cracker! The Best Dog in Vietnam -- Kadohata (Cracker doesn't die but other dogs do) Each Little Bird That Sings -- Wiles Road of the Dead by Kevin Brooks The Hound of the Baskervilles. My Dog Skip My Life in Dog Years the Shiloh books A Dog's life the autobiography of a stray Big Red by Jim Kjelgaard The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein Edgar Sawtelle...we think he's going to die, but I haven't finished it yet. Jason's Gold by Will Hobbs Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World: The Extraordinary True Story of Shackleton and the Endurance by Jennifer Armstrong Thanks everybody. This is quite a list. Looks like we are going to have to invest in some Kleenex!
