a really nice little book
As some of you know, I'm a librarian. I don't often have the opportunity to read Children's book, though, because I spend my time at the Reference Desk. Today, though, I was processing some books and ran across one that I just sat and read while on the Ref Desk. No other choice! The book is called Nubs, by Major Brian Dennis, and is about a relationship he developed with a wonderful stray dog while stationed in Iraq. I liked it enough that even though I don't have young children (mine are all adults now) I'm going to buy a copy of Nubs just because, well, I need it (OK, I'm soft)! And I'd like to recommend it to all pet lovers!

I remember reading about Nubs and that a book was in the works - I'll have to look for it 
Here's a news story from Feb. 2008 about Nubs

I watched a few youtube videos about Nubs and his owner. Such a sweet story.

In my personal opinion, some of the greatest pets are animals just waiting for a chance to BE a pet! |

I think I've seen this one!
Speaking of children's books, one of my favorites was a book called "Tabitha." I'd definitely check it out, it's very sweet.
