This book is a lot more complex than most picture books like it but it comes with a lot of information. It follows the story of Rags, a dog in the trenches of WWI. It fills us in on how remarkable of a dog Rags was and how unique Rags was. It is a good book for students who like animals. This book would be a good book for 3rd-5th grade readers. ( )

Supposedly a nonfiction story but no source notes and what appears to be a heavy reliance on invented dialogue. As historical fiction, it's mediocre. ( )
