Heart-warming story of a heroic dog,
By Momtoan8yearold (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barry: The Bravest Saint Bernard (A Stepping Stone Book(TM)) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for those learning to read (my own child is in 2nd grade) and also a wonderful book for parents to read to their children. Set in the Alps and based on a true story, it tells of a heroic dog and the love he shares with his trainer. Together they rescue travelers of a dangerous mountaing pass lost in the winter snow and avalanches. We read it over and over. Highly recommend.

This review is from: Barry: The Bravest Saint Bernard (A Stepping Stone Book(TM)) (Paperback)
I bought this for my 9 year old grandson who is a struggling reader. I was looking for a book at his reading level for his genre project. RL 3.1. I read it and found it to be at his reading level and a good based-on-fact story. But there is a part at the beginning where two would-be robbers were directed to the barn where the dogs were kept so they, the dogs, would scare them into leaving without robbing the monks. I decided that was too graphic for my grandson. He loves dogs and he lost his dog about a year ago during surgery.
I also ordered Moonwalk, another Stepping Stone book, and he used that one for his report. It was an excellent book full of good information about the first steps on the moon back in 1969. I highly recommend that book.
