In Madeline Finn and the Shelter Dog, the 2nd book in the series, sweet Madeline chooses her new pup, "Star." She dearly loves the pup. Then she learns about shelter dogs and her compassionate heart reaches out.
Her mother and another adult teach her about shelter dogs, and she is given the opportunity to help make the shelter dogs' lives more comfortable. This results in adoption of some of the shelter dogs.
This is another beautifully illustrated, gentle, and compelling book for young readers. I recommend the 3-book-set for homes of dog lovers and libraries everywhere.
About the book: Madeline Finn and the Shelter Dog centers on budding independent reader Madeline Finn, her newly adopted puppy Star (one of Bonnie’s puppies!), and their unique quest to help animals at their local shelter. This sequel was a natural leap for Lisa Papp. After spending time with so many library dogs writing the first Madeline Finn book, she became aware that many of them are former shelter dogs. Papp is a passionate animal lover and pleased these special pups are at the heart of this installment.
I really like these activity sheets, my favourite are the work search and word scramble. My grandson love books and he would draw picture of my cat whom he would read to. My granddaughter would work on the word puzzles with me.
