Pookus
and Buckie
Sandy Clark,
2005
Sandy sent me
this wonderfully sweet book she wrote for
children about differences and friendship.
It's based on a true story, and I think it
would be a great addition to an elementary
classroom library. There is also a
curriculum to use along with the book and
other materials including photos of the
real Pookus (her Yorkie) and Buckie (a
deer). You can find out more about the
book at the website www.pookusandbuckie.com.
