Truman the Dog

T is for Truman, tricks, and TROUBLE! Truman the black lab might be an older rescue dog, but he's still got enough mischief beneath his collar to keep eight-year-old Kaita Takano and her animal-fostering family on their toes from morning till night. Chewed through and through, the playfully illustrated, Kaita-narrated chapter book promises plenty of canine fun.

Reviews

School Library Journal - Sally James, South Hillsborough Elementary School, CA

"There are many worthwhile elements—a responsible and helpful protagonist, a diverse and loving family, and the message that rescuing animals is worthwhile. . . .The endpages have discussion questions for readers, some drawing activities, a glossary, and a fun comparison of the real-life Kaita (who inspired the story) with the fictional Kaita. A sweet title that will appeal to young readers who love dogs." - School Library Journal

Kirkus Reviews

"The focus on fostering animals rather than adopting them brings the topics of caregiving and sacrifice to light. Demmer adds fun, full-color illustrations, bringing the lovable Truman to life. The characters are culturally diverse, and cultural customs are reflected in the illustrations. . . .An adorable first book in a new series for animal lovers." - Kirkus Reviews

Imagination Soup - Melissa Taylor

"Kaita’s experience helping a labrador named Truman feels true-to-life and might just inspire you to become a foster family for a pet, too." - Imagination Soup
