A wonderful historical fiction book ideal for fans of dog books. Gives the young reader a glimpse into the early days of cinema
Noah has this book out from the library & after seeing the cover I had to read it too. Great story!!
Beautifully illustrated, and a heartwarming story.
A really enjoyable read about a dog who was a movie star.
LOTS of readers in grades 2-6 are going to love this story. The many illustrations make it a bit like a Brian Selznik book (plenty of support, but also good for kids stuck in graphic novels). The text is a large font with lots of white space around it on the page. The story is a great one -- makes me wish we could see all of Strongheart's movies from the '20s -- and readers will LOVE the character of Strongheart. They will also cheer for his humans!
Kids love books about dogs. This one is sure to be a winner with middle graders-especially third through fifth grades. Gorgeous illustrations, meticulously researched, fast moving storyline, with characters you can’t help but love. I loved the language used in the text-indicative of the 20’s. Strongheart will give readers a peek into times long gone, as well as a penchant to look up more information about this loveable pooch. Win-win!
I loved this fun, fast-paced book based on the true story of Strongheart. There is plenty of action to keep readers engaged. The beautiful illustrations are plentiful and help to make this book very accessible to middle grade readers. Overall great book!
