The True Story of World War I's Bravest Dog

Stubby the War Dog

Amanda Kordeliski

Very well written and researched. This book will be an easy sell in my middle school library. A book about a hero war dog? Has a fantastic bibliography and afterword explaining the research and a great learn more about WWI page. This short nonfiction book is a fantastic starting point for kids and WWI, especially those who have read everything about WWII and crinkle their noses at books on the first war. This will get them hooked.
